Azerbaijan, Baku, March 6 / Trend, M. Aliyev /
The current state of the Nagorno-Karabakh situation can lead to war,
head of the Austria-Azerbaijan Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group
Karl Ollinger said at a meeting in the Azerbaijani Parliament today.
He said that there is tension around the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
This situation must be resolved.
"The conflict must be resolved only through peaceful negotiations,"
Ollenger said.
The Azerbaijani head of the inter-parliamentary friendship group
Javid Gurbanov said that Azerbaijan is ready to live in peace and
friendship with all countries, including Armenia. The only condition
is Armenia's rejection of its occupation policy.
"If the negotiation process fails, then, of course, we are ready for
war to return our lands," he said. "The president has repeatedly
said this. Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is not a topic of
negotiations."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have been occupying 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.
