The Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno Karabakh is ready for talks with
the Armenian community, Chairman Bayram Safarov told Trend on Friday.
Such meetings are essential to both communities, Safarov said, adding
that they must be constant and contribute to the peaceful settlement
of the conflict.
The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is considering holding a meeting
between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities to resolve the
conflict, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly, Deputy Speaker Bahar Muradova said on Friday.
She said she addressed the OSCE PA and discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and proposed to organize a meeting between the communities.
Muradova said OSCE Special Representative for the South Caucasus Joao
Soares will visit the region in November or in January. Talks about
a possible meeting will be held.
Safarov said the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh has been
working in different directions.
One of the community's main tasks is to restore violated rights of
persons, who became refugees and IDPS as a result of the Armenian
aggression.
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.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
