    Azerbaijan is concerned over Russia's plans to transfer its military
    bases in Armenia to Armenia, Ziyafet Askerov, First Vice-Speaker of
    the Azerbaijani Milli Mejlis, said at the first meeting of the MM
    autumn session.

    "Meetings with relevant structures confirmed that the issue is
    currently under consideration. After the issue is discussed, Baku
    will make an official response," Askerov said.

    Sabir Rustamkhanli, MP, said in turn: "No one can guarantee that the
    Russian arms will not be delivered to the occupied Nagorno Karabakh
    from Armenia, because the bases will be under management of Armenians,"
    he said. The parliamentarian came out for applying to Russia and the
    UN for a serious response to the issue.

    Earlier on September 19 Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov
    said in Yerevan that nearly 10 facilities of the 102nd Russian
    military base may be transferred to Armenia. The Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict broke out on February 28 1988 in the Azerbaijani Sumgait
    with massacre of Armenians as a peculiar response of Azerbaijanis
    to the peaceful demand of the Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous Region,
    part of the Azerbaijani SSR, to unite with the Armenian SSR. This
    resulted in other pogroms of Armenians in Baku, Kirovabad and other
    regions of Azerbaijan populated with Armenians. In 1991 Azerbaijan
    unleashed war against peaceful populations of Nagorno-Karabakh,
    expulsing ethnic Armenians from the territory of Azerbaijan. Dozens
    of thousands of peaceful residents on both parties were killed in the
    military actions, and hundreds of thousands were left homeless and
    have become refugees. In 1994 in Bishkek in mediation of the OSCE MG,
    the NKR, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Protocol on Ceasefire that
    is observed more or less so far. Since 1992 the OSCE Minsk Group
    represented by co- chairs from Russia, U.S. and France has been
    mediating in resolution of the conflict unleashed by Azerbaijan in
    1988. At present the peace process is based on the Madrid Principles
    suggested by the OSCE MG in 2007 in Madrid and renovated in 2009.
