    Resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem will be chief aim of the
    CIS Muslims Advisory Council, Caucasus Muslims Clerical Board Deputy
    Chairman Sabir Hasanli said.

    "Resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be priority of
    discussions by the future organization," he said.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
    forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
    and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
    the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
    holding the peace negotiations.

    Earlier last week Caucasus Muslims Clerical Office Chairman Allahshukur
    Pashazade proposed to establish CIS Muslims Advisory Council at a
    conference "CIS Muslims Support Inter-Confessional and International
    Consent" in Moscow.

    The conference was initiated by the Supreme Council of CIS Muslims
    and international Islamic mission. Over 40 Muslim religious figures
    from 8 CIS member states and heads of Russian traditional confessions
    attended the event.

    Hasanli said the council will also inform people of the truth about
    Nagorno-Karabakh.
