Today at 16:14 | Interfax-Ukraine ST. PETERSBURG - Ukraine is ready to
support negotiations on the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict in the frames of the Organization for Security and Cooperation
in Europe.
"Ukraine favors the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and supports only a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, according to the principles and norms of international law,"
Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn told journalists during
the meeting with Chairman of the Milli Mejlis of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Oqtay Asadov in Saint Petersburg in Russia on Wednesday.
Lytvyn said that Ukraine was ready to offer support in negotiations
to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a part of the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group, in particular
in the context of Ukraine's presidency of the OSCE in 2013.
He congratulated Asadov on Azerbaijan's victory at the elections for
temporary members of the United Nations Security Council, and said that
Azerbaijan's work in this organization would favor peace and security.
In turn, Ukraine expects support from Azerbaijan at the elections
for temporary members of the UN Security Council for 2016-2017,
which are to be held in 2015, the Ukrainian parliament speaker said.
Lytvyn praised the level of Ukrainian-Azeri political dialogue
and said that relations between the two countries had a strategic
character. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Premier Mykola
Azarov also share such opinion, he said.
The speaker also talked of the necessity to intensify the exchange by
parliamentary delegations and emphasized that there had been active
work by Ukrainian and Azeri MPs during international forums.
Lytvyn said cooperation between parliamentary speakers is an important
part of the bilateral parliamentary cooperation, and he would be glad
to visit Baku next year.
Asadov said the level of the dialogue between Ukrainian and Azeri
presidents was very high and parliaments must support the necessary
level of cooperation and the positions of the two countries.
