Azerbaijani MP: What remains for Azerbaijan to do is to use its right
to liberate Armenia-occupied lands by force
16 July 2010 [15:45] - Today.Az
`The activities of the current co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group may
seem slow, because when Matthew Bryza was a mediator, he often made
inappropriate optimistic statements on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
negotiations. But after a while, he renounced his words," member of
the Azerbaijani parliament Aynur Jamalgizi said.
The MP said Azerbaijan still hopes that the negotiations held under
the auspices of international mediators will finally lead to a just
settlement to the conflict. Hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani
internally displaced persons look forward to return to their native
towns and villages.
"But our desire does not coincide with reality because of bias of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs towards Azerbaijan. International
negotiators treat the aggressor and the country subject to aggression
equally. They make only statements that the parties should themselves
reach a common agreement," the MP added.
`There are only two versions of compromise in this issue.'
"Armenia will either de-occupy Azerbaijan's occupied lands or
Azerbaijan will give these territories to Armenia, which is totally
unacceptable. Of course, the second option is ruled out, because it is
Azerbaijan will never do this,' the MP noted.
`Strange enough, they always mean only Azerbaijan when it comes to
concessions. They push us to sign defeatist peace and completely
bypass the issue of de-occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh. To get the
conflict resolved, the world powers should exert pressure on Armenia.
But we see opposite of it. The four UN resolutions and the European
Union resolution calling for the withdrawal of Armenian troops from
Azerbaijan's lands still remain on paper,' Jamalgizi stated.
`It makes no sense to speak about liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh while
the principles of territorial integrity and right of nations to
self-determinations are discussed simultaneously because Armenians
refuse self-determination within Azerbaijan.'
`What remains for Azerbaijan to do is to use right of a country
subject to aggression and to liberate Nagorno-Karabakh and other
occupied lands by force,' Jamalgizi added.
