Azerbaijan's delegation to NATO Parliamentary Assembly has met with
President of the Assembly John Tanner in Riga, Latvia.
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was key theme of the
meeting. They discussed ways of settlement of the conflict, reports
AzerTAj.
Head of the Azerbaijani delegation Ziyafat Asgarov said they achieved
the adoption of a decision on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution
and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in the NATO PA committees
for security and defense.
'The delegation highlighted the current state of peace talks over
the problem, and submitted all documents concerning the conflict
resolution to NATO PA president.'
He said they proposed to include the Karabakh question into the
agenda of one of committee sessions and later to raise the issue for
discussion at the Assembly to adopt a relevant resolution.
Asgarov said: 'Our goal is that the NATO PA voices its attitude to this
question. In fact, we achieved our goals in the committee for security
and defense, we also wish that NATO PA, like other international
organizations, expresses its position. This organization can give
it a political assessment, because NATO is the only organization to
control over security of the Euroathlantic region.'
Asgarov pointed out NATO officials made various statements over
the fact that Azerbaijan`s territories were invaded and the country
ultimately faced problems of refugees and IDPs.
According to him, the NATO PA president reiterated the problem should
be solved on the basis of principles of international law. Asgarov
said Azerbaijani MPs highlighted the importance of making pressure
on Armenia, which he described as an aggressor country, on the
international level.
He also said decisions and resolutions adopted by international
organizations give the right to Azerbaijan to liberate its lands from
occupation by any means.
