Karabakh conflict for Baku

Azerbaijan is not satisfied with the status quo in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs should
take this into account, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, MP
Samad Seyidov told reporters on Saturday.
We have repeatedly expressed our position relating to the activities
of the co-chairs. The Azerbaijani side has never refused from any
negotiations. On the contrary, we support their implementation and
their activation, the MP noted.
"We are not satisfied with the status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue while Armenia is seeking to keep the situation unchanged.
Azerbaijan offers to all parties involved in the negotiations, and
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, which organizes talks, to more
attentively address these issues, include them in the agenda.
International laws also require liberation of Azerbaijani territories
from the occupation," Seyidov said
The MP believes that the development of Azerbaijan in recent years,
its transformation into the country which is reckoned with in the
political arena and in the region, will surely affect the course of
negotiations.
"This is very well known to co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. I am
sure that the co-chairs will conclude from this, and we will solve the
issue of the liberation of Azerbaijani lands at the highest level",
said Seyidov.
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.
