OSCE PA urged to openly declare position on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Azerbaijan, Baku, July 6 / Trend M. Aliyev /
The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly must openly tell Armenia in connection
with Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that it will not agree with preserving
the status quo and legitimizing the occupation, member of Azerbaijani
delegation to the OSCE member, MP Azay Guliyev said at the OSCE PA
session in Monaco on Friday.
"While continuing the occupation of Azerbaijani lands, Armenia
violates all international conventions and regulations," he added.
"Azerbaijan wants to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh problem within the
international norms and waits for a similar attitude from the opposite
side."
He delivered speech after Lithuanian MP Vilia Aleknayte-Abramikene's
report on "OSCE - changing area".
Guliyev said that Vilia Aleknayte-Abramikene is absolutely right that
the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict causes tension on the contact
line and the entire region.
Lithuanian MP offers first to withdraw snipers and adhere to the
ceasefire agreement and urges to conduct a detailed investigation
during the incidents.
"The Azerbaijani side has agreed to establish a mechanism of
investigating the incidents occurring on the contact line," Guliyev
said. But logically, this mechanism can work only after Armenian
troops are withdrawn from Azerbaijani territories. If this happens,
there will be no need for snipers. On the other hand, I would like to
ask the speaker why are Armenian snipers on the Azerbaijani territory?
I ask to clarify this issue."
The ceasefire regime has been recently often violated on the contact
line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops. Both sides have losses.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 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.
