Azerbaijan is prepared to voice its position on the so-called municipal
elections in Nagorno-Karabakh at the session of OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly, deputy chairman of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova
told media.
"Azerbaijan will not only voice its opinion on the issue, but also
condemn the actions of the circles, supporting these actions of the
separatist regime," she said.
The discussions on "Role of the OSCE in unresolved conflicts -
Nagorno-Karabakh" will be held within the OSCE PA autumn session on
October 8.
Muradova said that the representatives of the OSCE chairman will
attend the discussions. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen's reports
will be heard.
The illegal municipal elections were conducted in Nagorno-Karabakh,
occupied by Armenia, on Sunday.
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.
