    AZERBAIJAN DEMAND OSCE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIA AS AGGRESSIVE STATE

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 9 January / Trend corr. I.Alizade / Azerbaijan
    demand the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to recognize Armenia as an
    agressive state.

    "The Azerbaijani Delegation to the PACE repeatedly raised the issue to
    discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to recognize Armenia as an
    aggressive country, during the sessions. However, the Parliamentary
    Assembly leadership denies to recognize Armenia as an aggressive
    country," MP Eldar Ibrahim, a member of the Azerbaijani Delegation
    to OSCE PA and the chairman of the permanent Parliamentary Commission
    on Agrarian Policy, stated to Trend agency.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
    in 1988, due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

    Since 1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven neighbouring
    districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
    agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs of the
    OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding
    the peaceful negotiations.

    The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized
    Armenia as an aggressive country, by passing the resolution 1416 in
    January 2005.

    According to Ibrahimov, in February, the Azerbaijani Delegation will
    raise the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the issue for consideration in
    the session of the OSCE PA in Vena. Azerbaijan has six members in
    the OSCE PA.
