GERMAN MP: ARMENIA MUST LEAVE OCCUPIED NAGORNO-KARABAKH
Trend, Azerbaijan
July 12 2013
The occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh is a violation of international
law. Armenia should put an end to this occupation, a report of the
European Azerbaijani Society released on Friday, said.
This was stated by the deputy of the German Christian Democratic Union
party, member of Defense Committee of German Bundestag (parliament)
Otte Henning, when he was commenting on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
After this, the internally displaced persons will be able to return
to their homes. The occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenian armed
forces has been continuing for more than 20 years, German MP said.
"Germany doesn't see any peaceful solutions to this problem as of now.
The UN Security Council adopted definite resolutions on this issue,
and Germany supports the UN Security Council on this matter," the
deputy said.
For a real peace process, it is necessary to normalize relations
between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the German MP said.
"So, concessions by Armenia are important conditions in this
situation. The fictional "presidential elections" carried out last
year in the Nagorno-Karabakh were illegitimate. The purpose of these
steps is not in conducting real negotiations leading to legitimate
results, but just in maintaining the status quo," the German MP said.
>From a geographical point of view, Azerbaijan is located in an
important region between Russia and Iran, Turkey and the Caspian Sea.
Germany has been for more than 20 years maintaining friendly relations
with Azerbaijan, that is why Germany is interested in strengthening
bilateral relations, Henning underscored.
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.
