A resolution on South Caucasus adopted by the European Parliament,
calling on Armenia to withdraw its troops from the territory of
Azerbaijan, can be considered as success of Azerbaijan's foreign
policy, chairman of the Center for Political Innovations and
Technologies Mubariz Ahmadoglu told Trend.
He said that the resolution indicates that 20-year propaganda-machine
of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora was absolutely crushed. "Before
the adoption of the resolution by the European Parliament, Azerbaijan
had doubts about the influence of the Armenian diaspora in resolving
of the European organizations", Ahmadoglu said.
Political analyst said that this is an important result with
far-reaching consequences. Doubts of Azerbaijanis in the European
organizations will reduce, confidence will increase. It will lead to
more intensive cooperation with Europe.
Political analyst also stressed statements of the U.S. State
Department, many international organizations, including UN, OSCE, EU,
non-recognition of "parliamentary elections" held by the separatist
regime in Nagorno-Karabakh, as confirmation of the above-mentioned
theses.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied
territories.
