Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 24 / Trend , M.Aliyev /
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's statement on Nagorno-Karabakh's
"independence" that he voiced at the UN General Assembly's session is
groundless, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told
journalists today.
Sargsyan's words openly show Armenia's position and demonstrate
Azerbaijan's rightness, he said.
"Nagorno-Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan and will always remain as
inseparable," Azimov stated.
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.
