Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 29 / Trend E. Mehdiyev /
The activity conducted by the OSCE Minsk Group for more than 20 years
has proved ineffective.
The international organisations adopted the necessary resolutions on
the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but unfortunately,
none of them have been implemented yet, Azerbaijani Deputy Prime
Minister and Chairman of the State Committee for Work with Refugees
and IDPs Ali Hasanov said at an event dedicated to the 20th anniversary
of the Zangilan occupation by Armenia.
According to Hasanov, if Armenia does not take a constructive position
and not fulfil the international organisations' resolutions on the
liberation of occupied lands, Azerbaijan will liberate its land by
any means, including a military option.
"This was highlighted by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev," he said.
"Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev are our sole support
in case of such multi-vector standards in the world," Hasanov said.
Twenty years have passed since the occupation of the Azerbaijani
Zangilan region by the Armenian Armed Forces.
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 the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
