The Azerbaijani MP called international organizations which disagree
with military solution to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to impose
sanctions against Armenia.
"Those who are concerned about war in the region will lead to
unpredictable consequence and jeopardize large transnational projects
should support sanctions against Armenia," Zahid Oruj, a member of the
Parliament's Security and Defense Committee, told Trend on Thursday.
Perceiving the impossibility of war in Nagorno-Karabakh as
strengthening of Armenian positions on these territories does not
coincide with the realities of 2012, Oruj noted.
"Does not the desire to protect the peace create conditions for
strengthening the position of the aggressor and occupier in these
territories?" MP said. "Stressing importance of peaceful settlement of
the conflict, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and representatives of
other international organizations as if come out against Azerbaijan's
military power and even admit the threatening statements, and this is
inadmissible."
According to Oruj, Azerbaijan is stronger than Armenia in all ratings.
"If international community takes a just position on Nagorno-Karabakh
dispute, the restoration of Azerbaijan's sovereign rights on its
territories will be realized," Oruj noted.
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.
