The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be discussed during the upcoming
international conferences of the Caspian Forum held by the Caspian
Strategy Institute (HASEN), the Secretary General of HASEN Haldun
Yavash said on Wednesday during a meeting with Azerbaijani journalists
in Istanbul.
According to him, HASEN has already held the Caspian Forum in
Istanbul, as well as in New York in late September during which the
presentation of large economic regional projects such as the "Southern
gas corridor", TANAP and TAP were given to important officials.
The Institute's plans include similar forums in Brussels, Moscow,
Baku, as well as again in New York and Istanbul," he stressed.
According to the Secretary General of HASEN, the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict will be brought up during discussion of regional security
issues.
"We are presenting large economic projects initiated by Azerbaijan
from all angles. Their implementation will lead to the strengthening
of Azerbaijan's positions in the international arena. And this will
eventually contribute to the just solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict," Yavash 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 peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding
regions.
