Turkey's ancient city Bursa hosted a conference on "The occupation
of Nagorno-Karabakh from the Standpoint of International Law" on
October 27 through the organization of the International Project
Management Association.
The IPMA arranged the event under the grant tender announced by the
Council of State Support to NGOs under the President of Azerbaijan.
Addressing the event, IPMA President, Professor Cetin Elmas spoke about
the importance of the project. He said the occupation of Azerbaijani
lands by Armenian forces was a flagrant violation of international
legal principles.
IPMA is a union of over 55 Member Associations worldwide. IPMA members
develop project management competencies in their geographic areas
of influence by interacting with thousands of practitioners and
developing relationships with corporations, government agencies,
universities and colleges, as well as training organizations and
consulting companies. The organization actively promotes competence
in project management for individuals, project teams, businesses,
organizations and government agencies around the World.
Major speakers to the conference, which involved experts and
representatives of civil society and media, included Professor Hasan
Tunc, Executive Director of the Council Farasat Gurbanov.
The speakers noted the importance of resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict based on the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and called
on the international community to pay more attention to the ongoing
problem.
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.
