Azerbaijan set to resolve Karabakh conflict peacefully
UNITED NATIONS February 10
Azerbaijan continues to adhere to a peaceful settlement of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Armenia although the talks that last
for twenty years yielded no result so far, according to Azerbaijan's
Ambassador to the United Nations Agshin Mekhtiyev.
"The ongoing political process shall be based on the settlement
formula that calls to end unlawful occupation of our territories, to
restore sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, to return
forcefully displaced persons home and ensure peaceful coexistence of
Azerbaijanis and Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh region within
Azerbaijan," he told the UN Security Council on Thursday.
He urged to respect human rights and humanitarian law in
Nagorno-Karabakh and said Armenia "continues unlawful activities on
the occupied territories of Azerbaijan which aim at changing their
demographic, social, and cultural character and definitely work to
strengthen the current status quo of the occupation."
Mekhtiyev called on the OSCE Minsk Group "to insist on the necessity
of an immediate and unconditional end to all actions which create
major barriers for the settlement of the conflict through negotiations
and on the bass of international law."
Also on Thursday Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev
discussed Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Armenia.
