The NATO statement on Nagorno-Karabakh made at the Chicago Summit
has confirmed the support of yet another international organisation
for Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman
Abdullayev said.
"The fact that the statement was signed by major international
players indicates strong support for Azerbaijan's just cause in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Abdullayev said.
He said the 47th paragraph of the statement indicates support for
Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
NATO called on the parties of protracted regional conflicts in South
Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova to avoid steps that undermine
regional security and stability, a declaration of the North Atlantic
Alliance adopted following the Chicago Summit, says.
According to the declaration, the persistence of protracted regional
conflicts in South Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova continues to
be a matter of great concern for NATO.
'We remain committed in our support of the territorial integrity,
independence, and sovereignty of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the
Republic of Moldova and will also continue to support efforts towards
a peaceful settlement of these regional conflicts, based upon these
principles and the norms of international law, the United Nations
Charter and the Helsinki Final Act', the declaration says.
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 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.
