    The hearings on Nagorno-Karabakh will be held in the parliaments of
    several European countries this year, member of Azerbaijani delegation
    to PACE, MP Elhan Suleymanov told media today.

    "The discussions are expected to be held at the autumn session of
    the Belgian Parliament," he said. "A resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh
    is planned to be adopted."

    "The hearings on the Azerbaijani occupied territories will be held
    in the Spanish Parliament in June and the Italian Parliament in
    September," he said.

    "The Italian Parliament has already adopted a document this year that
    supports Azerbaijan's position in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,"
    he said. "It will re-discuss the issue in September this year."

    "It is important when the parliaments of other countries recognize
    the realities of the Nagorno-Karabakh and Khojaly genocide," he said.

    "Several issues, related to the material and moral damage caused to
    Azerbaijan as a result of the Armenian occupation, were examined,"
    he said. "A book was created on the basis of these materials."

    "The committee's estimations, the damage worth $ 431 billion was
    caused to Azerbaijan as a result of the conflict," he said. "The
    committee includes the heads of executive power of the Azerbaijani
    occupied areas."

    "The historical and geopolitical roots of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    are being studied in the book "Armenia's armed aggression against
    Azerbaijan and severe consequences of the occupation"," he said.

    The author of the book is Suleymanov.

    "The book will be published in Russian, English, Italian, French,"
    he said. "The copies of this book will be sent to the parliaments of
    many European countries."

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent 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 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.
