No proposal received over meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian MPs- official
If the Armenian leadership does not take any action to negotiate the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, one cannot believe that a
meeting of parliamentarians of the two countries will have a positive
result, Azerbaijani Deputy Parliamentary Speaker Bahar Muradova told
media today.
She said that Azerbaijan received no specific proposals in connection
with the meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian
parliamentarians, adding that the time will show whether the meeting
will be held.
"While organizing the meetings it is necessary to bring the parties'
positions together and use even the smallest opportunity," Muradova
said.
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 the 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.
