Azerbaijan to intensify pressure on international organizations to
resolve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2011
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec.30 / Trend, M.Aliyev /
Azerbaijan, during 2011, intends to intensify pressure on
international and religious organizations responsible for the
resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"Azerbaijan will intensify pressure on international and religious
organizations in 2011, which are responsible for the resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Azerbaijani
Presidential Administration Social and Political Department head Ali
Hasanov told Trend.
UN has adopted four resolutions, which have not been fulfilled till
now, to resolve the conflict, Hasanov said, adding that "if this
organization is a guarantor of territorial integrity of states, it
should exert appropriate pressure on Armenia," Hasanov said.
"International organizations remain committed to their position
regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, however adherence to this
position has not served to ensure Azerbaijan's territorial integrity,"
he said.
Azerbaijan has voiced similar demands before OSCE and other
international organizations of which it is a member, Hasanov said.
According to him, in 2011 Azerbaijan will also intensify pressure on
the OSCE Minsk Group member countries. "Either they resolve this issue
by exerting thorough pressure on the side, which violates
international legal norms, or Azerbaijan uses all its resources to
liberate its own territories in accordance with international law,"
Hasanov said.
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, with the
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, comprising Russia, France, and the
U.S., currently engaged in the peace negotiations.
Armenia has still not implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
