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.
