The resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be a priority issue at
the upcoming meeting of Azerbaijani and French presidents, Azerbaijani
Presidential Administration Social and Political Department Head Ali
Hasanov said, commenting on the current visit of Azerbaijani President
to France, Trend reports.
Hasanov noted that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains a priority
during all the visits and meetings of Azerbaijani President with
other countries' presidents.
"France is a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group, and during the
meeting with this country's president, the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,
as well as situation and prospects of conflict regulation, processes
happening around the conflict, Azerbaijan's position and OSCE Minsk
group's activity and future steps will be discussed," Hasanov said.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out on February 28 1988 in the
Azerbaijani Sumgait with massacre of Armenians as a peculiar response
of Azerbaijanis to the peaceful demand of the Nagorno-Karabakh
autonomous Region, part of the Azerbaijani SSR, to unite with the
Armenian SSR. This resulted in other pogroms of Armenians in Baku,
Kirovabad and other regions of Azerbaijan populated with Armenians. In
1991 Azerbaijan unleashed war against peaceful populations of
Nagorno-Karabakh, expulsing ethnic Armenians from the territory of
Azerbaijan. Dozens of thousands of peaceful residents on both parties
were killed in the military actions, and hundreds of thousands were
left homeless and have become refugees. In 1994 in Bishkek in mediation
of the OSCE MG, the NKR, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Protocol on
Ceasefire that is observed more or less so far. Since 1992 the OSCE
Minsk Group represented by co-chairs from Russia, U.S.
and France has been mediating in resolution of the conflict unleashed
by Azerbaijan in 1988. At present the peace process is based on the
Madrid Principles suggested by the OSCE MG in 2007 in Madrid and
renovated in 2009.
