The European Parliament will discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement, the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh region said.
Chairman of the coordinating council of the community Orkhan Akbarov
left on March 27 for Brussels to join the roundtable on "Future of the
South Caucasus: the impact of economic initiatives for the peaceful
process in the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict".
Akbarov will deliver speech at the organized event.
Along with this event, several meetings on the communities' activity
in the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
will be held as part of the visit to Brussels.
The event was organized by the European Geopolitical Forum.
European Parliament in 2013 adopted a resolution which confirmed that
Armenian troops have occupied Azerbaijani territories and urged to
resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of UN Security
Council resolutions and the L'Aquila statement of the mediating
countries' leaders in 2009.
According to changes to the resolution, the European Parliament
recalled its position that the occupation of territory of an Eastern
Partnership member by another member state violates the fundamental
principles and objectives of the EU program.
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.
