The Director-General of Kofi Annan's Global Humanitarian Forum, Chair
of the UNESCO International Programme for the Development of
Communication (IPDC), Ambassador Walter Fust, supports the initiative
to appoint a UN Special Representative on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
"It's a quite interesting proposal, I think it will contribute to
solving the conflict," said Fust, YES Azerbaijan international
advisory group reported.
The UN must appoint a special representative for the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Vaira Vike-Freiberga,
the president of Latvia from 1999 to 2007 and special envoy to the UN
Secretary General and Vice-Chairman of the Group of Experts on the
long-term development of the European Union, told in Baku.
It is time to resolve the conflict, which creates so many problems for
the region, said Fust.
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 seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the United
States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's resolutions
on the liberation of Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
