    Final document of Tehran summit stresses importance of
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement


    Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 1 / Trend /

    The final document adopted in Tehran following the Non-Aligned
    Movement summit expresses the importance of the settlement of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan, the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan told Trend on Saturday.

    In the document the Heads of State or Government expressed their
    regret that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains
    unresolved and continues to endanger international and regional peace
    and security.

    The summit participants reaffirmed the importance of the principle of
    nonuse of force enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and
    encouraged the parties to continue to seek a negotiated settlement of
    the conflict, sovereignty and the internationally recognized borders
    of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

    At the end of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit, held in Tehran on
    August 30-31, a final document was adopted, 391st article of which was
    devoted to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

    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.
