An issue of adopting a separate law on Karabakh has been again
submitted to the Azerbaijani parliament's discussion.
If Azerbaijan has a single law on occupied territories, Armenian
separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh won't be able to participate in any
economic programs, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Security
and Defence, Zahid Oruj, told Trend on Tuesday. He stressed that it
will also make international organizations abandon the allocation of
funds to Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The Armenian separatists of Karabakh establish relations with
various foreign organizations. Through the embassies abroad Azerbaijan
sends notes, requests. But after the adoption of a specific law on
Karabakh as a territory of Azerbaijan its sovereign rights will be
taken into account implicitly, any foreign, economic and political
ties of Karabakh will not be recognized," he said.
Under the provisions of the law, it will not be allowed to sign any
contracts with any of the structures with prejudice to Karabakh, any
international or national documents relating to the Karabakh will be
declared invalid, the MP said.
Often citizens of various foreign countries, culture and art workers,
and sometimes MPs go to Karabakh, Oruj said. Their names are entered
only in the "black list" prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of the Republic, while it can be implemented by law.
"I have prepared a similar bill on Karabakh," a member of the
Parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy and State Building, MP Gudrat
Hasanguliyev told Trend on Tuesday.
He said he has repeatedly raised this issue at previous sessions
of Parliament, and stressed the importance of adopting a law on the
occupied territories. He said the prepared bill will be submitted to
the committee which it represents.
