Ex-president: Armenia continues obstructing PACE subcommittee on
Nagorno-Karabakh's activity
Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 5 / Trend M. Aliyev /
Armenia constantly obstructs the activity of the subcommittee on
Nagorno-Karabakh in the CE Parliamentary Assembly, member of the
Turkish Parliament and former PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu told
media in Baku today.
"Despite the obstacles made by the Armenians, the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue is always on the PACE agenda," he said. "If PACE is an
organisation for the protection of human rights and democracy, why
does it not protect the rights of people displaced from Armenia or the
Khojaly genocide victims?"
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.
