French MPs' visit to Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan casts a
shadow on the mediation mission of this country, Azerbaijani MP Musa
Gasimli said in an interview with the ruling New Azerbaijan Party
(NAP).
"French MPs' visit to Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan without
the knowledge or consent of the authorities of Azerbaijan must be
analyzed from several points of view. First of all, this is a rough
violation of the UN Charter and OSCE standards," said Gasimli.
Remembering that France is a permanent member of the UN Security
Council, which has adopted four resolutions on the unconditional
liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Gasimli noted
that these resolutions support and defend the territorial integrity
and inviolability of borders of Azerbaijan.
"At the same time, France is one of the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk
Group. Co-chairmen, mediators should be neutral, impartial and operate
within their mandates. French MPs' visit to Nagorno-Karabakh region of
Azerbaijan casts a shadow on the mediation mission of this country,"
said Gasimli.
Earlier, several media outlets reported that French MPs Guy Teissier,
Jacques Remile, Georges Colombier and Valerie Boyer have visited
the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia and met with the
leadership of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.
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 four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
