AZERBAIJANI ORGANIZATION SAYS WAR OVER KARABAKH INEVITABLE
17:21 ~U 03.06.13
An Azerbaijan-based NGO interested in the pro-Azerbaijani solution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has called for launching a war against
the Armenians over the disputed land.
The organization's president, Alif Nazi, has said at a conference
in Baku that "the Karabakh liberation continues to remain a priority
for them, reports Contact.az.
"As long as our lands are under occupation, we must not speak about
achievements," he said. "The war is inevitable. We have both an army
and money, as well as weapons. So what troubles us? Azerbaijan cannot
exist without Karabakh," he was quoted as saying.
Nazi said that preparing the Azerbaijani society for a war is one of
their priorities, adding that they also seek to suspend the peaceful
negotiations over Karabakh.
According to the Azerbaijani website, the organization adopted a
resolution at the end, calling upon the Azerbaijani authorities to
reject the Minsk Group format and trigger a war, refusing to agree
to what it called a defeatist peace with Armenia.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 when the Armenian
majority of the then autonomous region declared its intention of
breaking away from Azerbaijan.In a referendum held on December 10,
1991 (days before the collapse of the USSR), the population voted
overwhelmingly in favor of independence (99.89%). The move was
followed by Azerbaijan's large-scale military operations against
Nagorno-Karabakh and seven neighboring regions. The Ceasefire Agreement
which went into effect in May 1994 put an end to the armed attacks
in the conflict zone. Since 1992, the OSCE Minsk Group has been
spearheading the efforts towards reaching a negotiated settlement
between the conflicting countries.
