Armenia is exerting efforts to persuade foreign countries to recognise
a puppet regime in Nagorno-Karabakh, but these efforts will not
bring any results, deputy speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament Bahar
Muradova said today.
The talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have stalled because of
Armenia, Muradova told media.
Regarding the visit of the chairman of the House of Representatives of
Uruguay's parliament to Nagorno-Karabakh, she said that she supports
the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's position in this regard.
"Uruguay's attitude to this issue is also known," she said. "They
tried to explain their actions. Anyway, we see the contradictions and
inconsistencies between their official position and real actions. We
believe that Uruguay will try to regulate its activity in accordance
with international laws and inter-state relations."
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 surrounding
regions.
