Azerbaijani and EU relations within the Eastern Partnership Program,
as well as the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict were
mulled in Baku.
Azay Guliyev, Chairman of the Azerbaijan Council of State Support
for NGOs has met Therese Hyden, official of the Swedish Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, Mirja Peterson, head of Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency and Tomas Danestad, Charge de Affairs
of Embassy of Sweden to Azerbaijan.
Hyden noted Sweden recognized Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity,
adding the country was ready to support peaceful settlement of the
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s. Long-standing
efforts by U.S, Russian and French mediators have been largely
fruitless so far.
As a result of the military aggression of Armenia, over 20,000
Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing and almost
100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.
The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian
withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been
enforced to this day.
