The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has again condemned
Armenia's occupation and annexation policy against Azerbaijan and
urged it to withdraw its troops from the occupied Azerbaijani lands.
The OIC's position has been reflected in the declaration adopted
following the 39th Ministerial Council of the Organisation in Djibouti,
the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said today.
OIC has also adopted several resolutions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
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.
