Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement
Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 1 / Trend /
The final document adopted in Tehran following the Non-Aligned
Movement summit expresses the importance of the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan told Trend on Saturday.
In the document the Heads of State or Government expressed their
regret that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains
unresolved and continues to endanger international and regional peace
and security.
The summit participants reaffirmed the importance of the principle of
nonuse of force enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and
encouraged the parties to continue to seek a negotiated settlement of
the conflict, sovereignty and the internationally recognized borders
of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
At the end of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit, held in Tehran on
August 30-31, a final document was adopted, 391st article of which was
devoted to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
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.
