Baku - APA. "For many years the conflict between Armenia and
Azerbaijan has remained unresolved, APA reports quoting "AzerTAc"
news agency. OSCE Minsk Group has operated almost for 20 years, but
there are no so far any practical results." Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev made this statement in the press confreres after the
meeting with Lithuanian President Dalia GrybauskaitÄ-.
"Recently OSCE field assessment mission visited the occupied
territories and drew up report on it. That report clearly states
that all infrastructures were destroyed in the occupied territories,
and the facts of illegal settlement are obvious. There is a lot of
other evidences confirming Armenia's aggressive policy, attempts
to change the historical names of the regions and administrative
borders. 7 districts located outside the administrative limits of the
Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan are also under occupation. We
suffer from the policy of ethnic cleansing. One million of
Azerbaijanis are refugees and IDPs in their native lands. About 20
percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory is under
occupation. Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan. Of
course, the conflict must be resolved on the basis of the principles
and norms of international law. We hope, by demonstrating a
constructive approach to OSCE Minsk Group proposals Armenia will
take a step forward and start leaving the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan. After that, the establishment of the peace in the region
is possible. The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is the
main threat to the regional security and stability. All parties are
interested in the soonest resolution of this conflict on the basis
of international law", - the president Aliyev said.
