The Armenian -Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be discussed
during the international conferences to be held as a part of the
upcoming Caspian Forum, said Haldun Yavash, the Secretary General of
the Caspian Strategy Institute (HASEN), which will organize the event.
According to him, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be brought up
during discussion of the 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.
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 , Yavash said during
a meeting with Azerbaijani journalists in Istanbul on October 2.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the early
1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian armed
forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions. The UN Security Council's four resolutions on Armenian
withdrawal have not been enforced to this day.
Peace talks, mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. through the OSCE
Minsk Group, are underway on the basis of a peace outline proposed
by the Minsk Group co-chairs and dubbed the Madrid Principles. The
negotiations have been largely fruitless so far.
