Azerbaijan, Baku, 19 June /Trend News corr A. Ismayilova/ "Unsettled
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict aggravates threats and
tensions in the region," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said while
addressing the Milli Majlis [Parliament] in connection with the 90th
anniversary of the Azerbaijani Parliament on 19 June.
Parliamentary representatives from over 40 countries are participating
in the ceremony.
"The conflict regards not only Azerbaijan and Armenia, but a threat
to security of the region and projects and is an obstacle for
cooperation," President Aliyev said.
Aliyev mentioned UN Security Council had passed four resolutions on
withdrawal of Armenian troops from occupied Azerbaijani territory.
President also stressed that international organizations such as
OSCE, Council of Europe, OIC and GUAM support Azerbaijan's position
on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Aliyev voiced his disappointment
that the conflict still remains unsolved in spite of the support of
international community.
"For some reason international community indifferently treats
the issue. We support peaceful settlement of the conflict, but
international organizations must respect themselves and urge for
liberation of Azerbaijani territory. Only in this case there will be
peace in the region," he said.
President Aliyev informed foreign countries' parliamentary
representatives of Azerbaijan's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. "Territorial integrity of Azerbaijan must be restored
and Armenian military forces must be withdrawn from the occupied
territory. Then measures must be taken to provide for co-existence of
Karabakh Armenians and Azerbaijanis who will return to their land. Thia
region will be granted the highest status of self-government," he said.
Speakers and Vice-Speakers of the parliaments of Turkey, Georgia,
Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Belarus, etc. are participating in the
Baku meeting. A range of cultural events will take place during the
celebration. The participants will go sight-seeing in Baku and visit
cultural and historical heritage of Azerbaijan.
