Azerbaijani MP Aydin Mirzazade called on his French counterpart Guy
Tessier to more deeply study the history of the Caucasus region.
"If Guy Tessier studied the Caucasus region's history more deeply,
first it would be useful to him, MP Aydin Mirzazade told Trend
commenting on statements made by Guy Tessier, member of the French
parliament faction "Union for a Popular Movement".
According to the Armenian media outlets, during his visit to the
Azerbaijani occupied territories together with several other French
MPs Tessier met with the separatist regime's representatives. During
one of the meetings he stated that "the Karabakh people" has the
right for recognition as an independent state by the world community.
The French parliament faction "Union for a Popular Movement", if I am
not mistaken, is a party, where the President Nicolas Sarkozy is also
represented. Visit of the ruling party's member to the Azerbaijani
occupied territories and biased statements on Nagorno Karabakh do not
fit in any frame. Such statements by the ruling party's member, when
France is the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, which recognizes Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity, can be only regarded as provocation," Mirzazade
said stressing that there are many Armenians in the French president's
party.
"One should take into account that there are many Armenians in
Sarkozy's party. Earlier, someone Damirchyan was this party's chairman
for about two years. The member of the party, close to the Armenian
circles and funded by them, did not act diplomatically. Such behavior
is inadmissible," Mirzazade said while commenting on Tessier's visit
to Nagorno Karabakh.
Mirzazade said he expects that the European politicians will support
our country's territorial integrity.
"We expect that the European politicians will urge Armenia to be
respectful to international legal norms. We call on them to get
acquainted with situation of the Azerbaijani refugees. In any case
Azerbaijan will not allow creating the second Armenian state in its
territories," 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 seven 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.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
