    Indonesia rules out opening diplomatic mission in Yerevan

    By Sara Rajabova


    The Indonesian House of Representatives will not allow opening a
    diplomatic representation of the country in Armenia until the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is settled.

    Speaker of Indonesian House of Representatives, Marzuki Alie made
    remarks during the meeting with Azerbaijani Ambassador to Indonesia
    Tamerlan Garayev, the Embassy said.

    Alie said the Indonesian Parliament recommended the government to
    postpone the opening of the diplomatic mission in Armenia.

    For his part, Garayev thanked Alie personally and on behalf of the
    Azerbaijani government for expressing Indonesia's official position on
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Khojaly genocide in his closing
    speech to the House of Representatives.

    He said Indonesia's principled position regarding the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be an example for
    other Muslim countries.

    Garayev also expressed a hope that Indonesia will play an important
    role in the international arena in the issue of peaceful liberation of
    the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

    In turn, Alie said Indonesia will always support the sovereignty and
    territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and the peaceful settlement of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of four UN resolutions.

    Alie said Indonesia has unfailing and unequivocal position against the
    country, which occupied part of the territory of another state.

    He also noted that Indonesia condemns the Khojaly genocide, committed
    by Armenian armed forces in early 1990s.

    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. The occupation caused a lengthy war in the early 1990s.

    The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenia's
    withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they 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.
