    A conference on the topic "France - OSCE Minsk Group co-chair and
    forgotten Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict" was held on Dec.8 in the
    French Senate, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Paris said.

    The event was organized by the Public Union "Azerbaijani community
    of Nagorno-Karabakh" and the Azerbaijani Embassy.

    The conference was opened by member of the Senate Commission for
    International Affairs Nathalie Goulet, who acted as a moderator.

    Goulet thanked the Azerbaijani side for timely and important initiative
    to hold this event, stressing the need for constant provision of the
    French public with true information about the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    conflict.

    Senator stressed the inadmissibility of the continued occupation of
    Azerbaijani territories by Armenia, telling about her experience of
    a visit to the conflict zone and numerous meetings with displaced
    persons affected by the war.

    Azerbaijani Ambassador Elchin Amirbeyov briefed the conference
    participants about Azerbaijan's official position in the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, stressing special
    importance of participation of representatives of the Azerbaijani
    community of Nagorno-Karabakh at the event, which is one of
    the conflict parties in accordance with the mandate of the Minsk
    Group. He stressed that, remaining committed to the peace process,
    Azerbaijan, however, finds it unacceptable to preserve status quo in
    the conflict zone and considers a phased resolution which envisage
    immediate elimination of the consequences of the military phase of
    the conflict, as the only possible effective way to achieve a lasting,
    just and comprehensive peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    Informing the audience about completing his seven-year activity as the
    OSCE Minsk Group's French co-chair, Ambassador Bernard Fassier went on
    the details on his country and other co-chairs' efforts to assist the
    conflict parties to make progress in difficult negotiations. Fassier
    spoke about the evolution of the negotiation process and difficulties
    before mediators and conflict parties to achieve significant progress
    in the negotiations.

    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.
