    BAKU REGRETS ABSENCE OF RESULTS OF OSCE MEDIATOR MISSION FOR KARABAKH SETTLEMENT - MINISTER

    BAKU. Sept 30

    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov, speaking at the 68th
    UN General Assembly session in New York, expressed regret about
    the absence of results of the OSCE mediating mission to settle the
    conflict in Nagorno Karabakh.

    "Twenty years ago, the UN Security Council adopted four resolutions
    denouncing the occupation of part of Azerbaijan's territory.

    Unfortunately, however, during the period since then the provisions
    of the resolution on the withdrawal of the [Armenian] occupation force
    from occupied territories of Azerbaijan have not been implemented. The
    OSCE mission that has continued for 20 years has not produced results
    either," Mamedyarov said in a speech the text of which was circulated
    by the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on Sunday.

    He said Armenia does not fulfill UN Security Council resolutions;
    moreover, it is trying to consolidate current situation.

    Mamedyarov added that in 2005 and 2010, the OSCE, at the initiative
    of the United Nations, sent evaluation missions to the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan. "Both missions confirmed that illegal
    settlement was conducted in the occupied territories, geographical
    names were changed and other unlawful steps were taken. However,
    the recommendations compiled by the missions remain on paper," he said.

    Mamedyarov said that Armenia actively tries to populate
    Nagorno-Karabakh and seven occupied districts of Azerbaijan with
    Syrian Armenians and arranges flights from the occupied territories.

    "These and other illegal actions prove that Armenia is pursuing
    a purposeful policy of occupying Azerbaijani lands," the foreign
    minister said.
