Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 29 /Trend/
Baku is concerned about Armenia's actions on resettlement of the Syrian
refugees of Armenian origin to Azerbaijan's occupied territories,
a message of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Moscow said.
"The Republic of Armenia continues its illegal actions, especially
the efforts pursuing the purpose of protracting military occupation
and its consequences and the activity on artificially changing the
demographic situation in the occupied territories of the Republic
of Azerbaijan, thus ignoring the international community's position,
which condemns such activities. Recently about two hundred Armenian
refugees from Syria have been settled in the occupied territories
of Zangilan district, which was another clear evidence of illegal
settlement policy pursued by the Armenian state," the document received
by the RIA Novosti said.
Thereupon Azerbaijan hopes that the international community will
demonstrate a more resolute approach for the rapid solution of this
inveterate problem and 'attempts to consolidate the results of military
occupation, including through the implementation of illegal migration',
the Embassy 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 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.
