Nagorno Karabakh is an inseparable part of Azerbaijan. The conflict
between Armenia and Azerbaijan should be resolved as soon as possible,
and internally displaced persons should return to their homes, Ivo
Vaygl, a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the European
Parliament (EP) told journalists in Aghdam region, Azerbaijan.
"The OSCE is making enough efforts to resolve the conflict," Vaygl said
"But the Minsk Group, with activities of which I am familiar for 12
years, is unable to resolve this issue. The United States and Russia
should make an effort to solve this problem. The European Parliament
will also strive for this."
Vaygl visited Aghdam region as part of his visit to Azerbaijan on
Monday. MEP met with internally displaced persons to get familiar
with their living conditions.
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.
