Britain's Windsor town has hosted a conference on the
Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The three-day conference was held under a project of the Centre for
Russian and East European Studies of the University of Birmingham,
AzerTag news agency reported.
The project is financed by the Council of State Support to
Non-Governmental Organizations under the President of Azerbaijan.
Participants in the event included experts of the Centre for Russian
and East European Studies, former diplomats, experts, professors at
the Italian Verona, British Kent and Finnish Karelia universities.
The second day of the conference featured a round table called "The
Caucasus: the role of foreign and internal powers".
It heard a report "The Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
through the prism of the British media" by a researcher at the Centre
for Russian and East European Studies.
The report criticized coverage of the conflict in the British media
as unprofessional and biased, saying it was promoting Armenia`s
groundless position.
It expressed regret over the fact that the British media outlets did
not feature Azerbaijan`s just position on the dispute. It also said
the British media did not investigate the historic aspects of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which erupted back in 1988 when Armenia
made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
Since a lengthy war in the early 1990s that displaced over one
million Azerbaijanis displaced, 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.
