Azerbaijan, Baku, 25 February / corr Trend News S.Agayeva /
Azerbaijan calls on the UN to allow an effective democratic system of
self-governance to be built up in the Nagorno-Karabakh region within
the Republic of Azerbaijan.
?It is necessary to provide normal, secure and equal conditions of
life for Armenian and Azerbaijani communities in the Nagorno-Karabakh
region of the Republic of Azerbaijan,? says a draft resolution which
Azerbaijan recently presented to the UN General Assembly to be
included in the preliminary agenda of the 63rd UN General Assembly, a
source at the UN told TrendNews.
The 63rd UN General Assembly will begin in September. Since 1993 the
UN have taken several resolutions on the occupied territory of
Azerbaijan.
In the new resolution Azerbaijan calls on the Secretary-General to
submit to the General Assembly at its sixty-third session a
comprehensive report on the implementation of the present resolution
and to include on the provisional agenda of its sixty-third session
an item entitled ?The situation in the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan?.
The document demands the immediate, complete and unconditional
withdrawal of all Armenian forces from all the occupied territories
of the Republic of Azerbaijan;
Azerbaijan calls on UN member-countries to reaffirm the inalienable
right of the population expelled from the occupied territories of the
Republic of Azerbaijan to return to their homes, and stresses the
need to create appropriate conditions for this return, including the
comprehensive rehabilitation of the conflict-affected territories;
Azerbaijan expresses its support to the international mediation
efforts, in particular those of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe Minsk Group CoChairmen, aimed at the peaceful
settlement of the conflict in accordance with the norms and
principles of international law, and recognizes the need to intensify
these efforts with a view to achieving lasting and durable peace in
compliance with the provisions stipulated above.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group
( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
