Article on territorial integrity of Azerbaijan included in NATO PA resolution
Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov.26
By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:
The article on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan
has been added to the resolution on "NATO Reassurance and Support to
Partners", adopted at the 60th annual session of the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly, held in The Hague, a member of the Azerbaijani
delegation to NATO PA, MP Malahat Ibrahimgizi told Trend Nov.25.
She said that the Armenians tried to prevent the introduction of this
article in the resolution. But despite their efforts, as a result of
the arguments of the Azerbaijani side, this resolution was adopted.
The MP went on to add that the Armenians have also tried to add an
article on "self-determination of minorities" to the resolution, but
the Azerbaijani delegation was able to prevent this attempt.
The delegation said at the meeting that the Armenians have once
realized self-determination, and the other delegations rejected this
article, Malahat Ibrahimgizi said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result
of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent
of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN
Security Council resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh
and the surrounding regions.
Malahat Ibrahimgizi said that the new NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg during the session said that Azerbaijan is a trusted
partner of NATO, and stressed the importance of settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the framework of international law
and the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council.
Stoltenberg also said that he is ready to assist the efforts of the
OSCE Minsk Group in the settlement of the conflict, the Azerbaijani MP
said.
