Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement planned to be discussed at NATO
PA autumn session
Azerbaijan, Baku, May 7/ Trend, M. Aliyev /
The settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be discussed
during the autumn session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, the
First Vice-Speaker, Chairman of the Committee on Security and Defence
of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ziyafet Askerov told media in Baku.
"Although this issue is not planned to be discussed during the spring
session, but we will try to include it on the agenda of the autumn
session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly," Askerov said.
NATO Parliamentary Assembly is the international parliamentary
organization established in 1955 (till November 1966 - the conference
of NATO parliamentarians, in 1966-1998 - the North Atlantic Assembly).
Two sessions are held annually (spring and autumn). The governing
executive body of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly is a Permanent
Committee. It is headed by a Chairman elected among the members of the
NATO Parliamentary Assembly for a term of two years.
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.
