    GERMANY ADOPTS IMPORTANT DOCUMENT ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Trend
    Oct 10 2012
    Azerbaijan

    A document on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was adopted during the
    annual Deutschlandtag conference of the youth organisation Junge
    Union under the ruling coalition of the Christian Democratic Union
    and Christian Social Union in Germany, held in Berlin on Oct. 5,
    2012, the Europe-Azerbaijan society told Trend.

    According to the document, Armenia's claim which gained its
    independence after the collapse of the USSR in 1992 led to the
    war. As a result, more than 25,000 Azerbaijanis were killed. More
    than one million people became refugees and IDPs. Nagorno-Karabakh
    region of Azerbaijan and the adjacent seven regions were occupied. No
    international organisation recognised the self-proclaimed "Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic". Germany and the European Union have also rejected
    the parliamentary elections held in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2010 as
    illegal.

    EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
    Catherine Ashton called these elections and the so-called "presidential
    elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2012 as a threat to a peaceful
    settlement of the conflict.

    According to the document, Armenia has not implemented the UN Security
    Council resolutions No 822, 853, 874 and 884, requiring the withdrawal
    of Armenian armed forces from the Azerbaijani territory. The UN
    General Assembly supported this position in 2008.

    According to the document, the Junge Union organisation urged the
    German government to strengthen international efforts within the
    cooperation of the OSCE, EU and the UN to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.

    'The Armenian government must immediately put an end to the occupation
    of Nagorno-Karabakh and other Azerbaijani territories', the document
    said. "Nagorno-Karabakh is an inseparable part of Azerbaijan.

    'Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, inviolability of its borders
    and the security of those people living in the border region must be
    ensured rapidly and without restrictions'.

    Chairman of the Europe-Azerbaijan Society Tale Heydarov stressed
    that one of the main objectives of the Europe-Azerbaijan Society
    is to offer information about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to
    contribute to a just settlement of the conflict by peaceful means.

    The Junge Union youth organisation has 130,000 members. It is the
    largest youth political organisation in Europe.
