    Party leader says USA seeks to deploy troops to Azeri districts


    A senior member of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan has said that the
    "Madrid principles" towards the Karabakh conflict settlement are aimed
    at deploying foreign forces in this country, Iran's Sahar TV has
    reported.

    The deputy chairman of the party, Haci Vaqif Abdullayev, said that
    under the Madrid principles, Armenian troops will be withdrawn from
    five Armenian-held Azerbaijani districts, including 13 villages in
    Kalbacar District, after which borders and all communications lines
    between the conflicting sides will be opened and IDPs will return to
    their homes, Sahar TV said. After that, the issue of the deployment of
    "so-called peacekeeping forces" to the region in order to "supposedly"
    ensure the safety of the IDPs and communications lines will probably
    also be put on the agenda, he said, according to Sahar TV.

    Abdullayev also said that the USA and Russia were more interested in
    the implementation of this process because Azerbaijan's Qubadli and
    Zangilan districts border Iran, and the USA is trying to deploy its
    troops or its Western allies' troops to these districts and carry out
    anti-Iranian activities. He went on to say that Azerbaijan should not
    let anyone to use its territory against Iran, the TV channel said.

    Abdullayev also noted that the Azerbaijani authorities should avoid
    accepting the "Madrid principles" and should rely on its people and
    Muslim countries, including Iran and Turkey, in the settlement of the
    conflict.
