Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has become a topic of
discussion on Saturday at the autumn session of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly, which takes place in Dubrovnik (Croatia), as website of the
organization reported.
The session was made by Vice-Speaker of the Milli Mejlis (Parliament)
Bahar Muradova, who noted that the unsettled conflict has a negative
impact on the development of the South Caucasus region. She also noted
the importance of dialogue between Azerbaijanian and Armenian
communities, which can lead to trust between the parties.
The session also addressed the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Robert
Bradtke (USA) and Igor Popov (Russia), as well as the personal
representative of OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk. In their
speeches, they briefed members of the current status of settlement of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is based on three pillars - non-use
of force, territorial integrity and the right of peoples to
self-determination.
Kasprzyk also said that as a result of violations of the ceasefire on
the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops recently
three soldiers were killed. He said that in connection with it the
OSCE offers a new monitor on the front lines next week.
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.
The delegation of Azerbaijan to the OSCE PA, in addition to Bahar
Muradova presented by chairmen of parliamentary committees Rabiyat
Aslanova, Eldar Ibrahimov, as well as MPs Fattah Heydarov, Agalar
Veliyev and Azay Guliyev.
The session will also address issues relating to the development of
South-Eastern Europe, economic cooperation between countries of this
region, their integration into Euro-Atlantic space, security
improvement in the Mediterranean.
Session of the OSCE will complete its work on October 11.
