After Armenian media reports about resettlement of Syrian Armenians in
the Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh territories occupied by Armenia, Baku
raised issue of illegality of these activities before international
organizations and OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry told Trend on Monday.
Issue of illegality of settlement in Azerbaijan's historical
territories was also mentioned in earlier reports of the OSCE mission
and Minsk Group, the ministry said.
"Nagorno-Karabakh is ready to accept Syrian Armenians, provide them
an opportunity to study in Artsakh free of charge, as well as provide
them with accommodation," Prime Minister of the separatist regime of
occupied Nagorno Karabakh, Ara Harutyunyan said addressing Armenian
youth resting in the camp "Aspet" (Knight), Armenian media outlets
reported.
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.
