The communication and transport committee of the Chamber of Deputies
of Brazil has urged Armenia and Azerbaijan to step up efforts for
the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, AzerTag
news agency reported.
The document has been issued based on the proposal of the member and
chairman of the committee Rodrigo Maia on December 11.
The document refers to the Nagorno-Karabakh region as part of
Azerbaijan.
The Chamber of Deputies is a federal legislative body and the lower
house of the National Congress of Brazil.
"We call on OSCE Minsk Group, Azerbaijan and Armenia to increase
efforts towards peaceful solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
in accordance with the resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 of the
UN Security Council, on the basis of the countries' sovereignty,
territorial integrity and inviolability of borders," the document says.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the early
1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian armed
forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions.
The UN Security Council's four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal
have not been enforced to this day.
As a result of Baku`s active foreign policy, the Armenian aggression
against Azerbaijan, the Khojali genocide, committed by Armenian in
1992 and the Nagorno-Karabakh question have been brought to the agenda
of parliaments of many countries.
In this regard, legislative bodies of many countries have adopted
resolutions condemning Armenia`s military aggression against
Azerbaijan, the crime committed by Armenians against the peaceful
people in the Khojali town of Azerbaijan has been recognized as
a genocide, as well as made statements calling on settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the countries` sovereignty,
territorial integrity and inviolability of borders.
The parliaments of Pakistan, Mexico, Colombia, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Jordan, as well as legislative bodies
of about 20 states of the Unites States, including Texas, New-Mexico,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Western Virginia,
New-Jersey and Tennessee are adopted relevant documents..
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) adopted a final Cairo
Communique in February 2013, in the summit held in Egypt's capital,
naming the Khojaly tragedy as genocide against humanity. The Communique
calls on the international community to recognize the genocide.
A resolution adopted by foreign minister of OIC member countries
in capital of Guinea, Conakry on December 9-11, includes a special
paragraph regarding the "Justice to Khojali" campaign.
According to this paragraph, the OIC Foreign Ministers Council
"welcomes the activities of the campaign and urges member states to
take an active part in the campaign at the national and international
levels in order to recognize the Khojaly genocide as an act of crime
against humanity".
OIC Ministerial Council first recognized the Khojaly tragedy as
genocide during its session held in November 2012 in Djibouti.
613 civilians, including 106 women, 70 elderly and 83 children,
were killed in the Khojaly massacre. A total of 1,000 civilians were
disabled. Eight families were exterminated, and 25 children lost both
parents, while 130 children lost one parent. Moreover, 1,275 innocent
people were taken hostage, while the fate of 150 remains unknown.
