will meet with the opposition leaders to discuss the situations
surrounding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Touching up on the discussions over the issues in the Parliament
of Azerbaijan, Novruzov said that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has
been discussed by the Parliament several times. He stressed that some
parliamentarians raise the question of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
and make speeches on this issue in the international organizations.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus appeared in
1988 due to the territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan.
Armenia has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven Districts of the country surrounding
it. Since 1992 to the present time, these territories have been
under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In 1994, Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a cease-fire agreement, at which time the active
hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia,
France and USA) hold peaceful negotiations.
