The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen's statement on the inactivity and
the statements, which may worsen the positions of the parties of
the conflict, has been addressed to Armenia, which wants to open the
airport in the occupied territories, Azerbaijani deputy chairman of
the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova told media today.
"Armenia's action is a provocation aimed at aggravating the situation,"
Muradova said.
Muradova said that the commitment to the peace talks has been voiced
by the two parties, but the process shows its course.
"Besides showing an interest in resolving the conflict, OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairmen must exert more efforts to complete the process
positively, influence on Armenia for it to abandon its non-constructive
position," Muradova said.
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.
