Azeri opposition parties reject Karabakh conflict resolution plan
Baku, 18 March: A number of opposition forces of Azerbaijan today held
discussions at the headquarters of the Democratic Party [of
Azerbaijan] on the situation in Karabakh peace talks.
The leaders of the Democratic Party (DPA), of the Azadliq [Freedom]
bloc ([which includes] the People's Front of Azerbaijan Party, the
Liberal Party, and the Citizen and Development Party), the Hope party
and the Azarbaycan Milli Istiqlal Party [National Independence of
Azerbaijan Party].
DPA leader Sardar Calaloglu has told Turan that the participants in
the meeting expressed concern over statements by official Baku on
Azerbaijan's agreement to the "Madrid principles". The opposition
believes that this plan runs counter to Azerbaijan's national
interests as it envisages holding a referendum on the status of
Nagornyy Karabakh.
"This means secession of the region from Azerbaijan," Calaloglu said.
The opposition forces called on the authorities to reject this plan.
Otherwise, the opposition will organize civil resistance to the
"Madrid principles", the DPA leader said.
