Baku's ambassador to the United Kingdom has said London's reputation
and position on the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
are highly appreciated in Azerbaijan.
Given the economic and political interests of the United Kingdom, it
has a natural interest in the conflict resolution, Tahir Tagizade said.
Reminding that on the eve of the NATO summit in Cardiff, the UK has
expressed a consistent, logical and fair position on the conflict,
the diplomat said as one of the leading forces in Europe, the UK has
the opportunities.
Tagizade said the British leadership and the Foreign Office stressed
the importance of the territorial integrity principle in the regional
conflicts.
For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in
conflict which emerged over Armenia's territorial claims against its
South Caucasus neighbor.
Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and
seven surrounding regions. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since
1994, but long-standing efforts by U.S, Russian and French mediators
have been largely fruitless so far.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
