[November 13, 2004, 23:37:16]
Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in
Washington D.C., Chair of the Milli Majlis /Parliament/ Standing
Commission on International and Interparliamentary Relations Samad
Seyidov urged the UN General Assembly to justice while debating over
Nagorno-Karabakh Problem.
He dwelt on democratic reforms implemented in Azerbaijan, economic
development in the country and the current situation of the
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. He noted
Azerbaijan had chosen the way of integration into Euroatlantic space
that would bring benefit to both parties.
He also said that Azerbaijan is the shortest way connecting the two
continents and an alternative energy source for Europe who helps the
country to overcome the complex transition period.
Mr. Seyidov pointed out the positive impact of the membership of the
Council of Europe upon democratization process in Azerbaijan noting
that economic growth in the country and improvement of standard of
living are also a result of democratization and transparency of the
society. He recalled that foreign experts including the US' cite the
activity of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan as an example to follow
by other fuel-producing countries.
Describing the unsolved conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over
Nagorno-Karabakh as the largest obstacle to development of the
region, Mr. Samad Seyidov noted the importance of supremacy of
democratic values in relation to this issue. "We want the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem to be discussed at any level. The initiative
to include the issue in the UN General Assembly's agenda has been
dictated just by this desire. Not pro-Azerbaijani or pro-Armenian
stance but justice is what the debates shall be based on", he said.
