    Azeri MP calls for European sanctions against Armenia at Scottish talks

    ANS TV, Baku
    5 Jul 04


    [Presenter] The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagornyy Karabakh
    is currently being discussed at a session of the OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly in Scotland today. The assembly's chairman and
    secretary-general are now delivering their reports.

    [Correspondent over video of the building of the OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly] The 13th annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly
    has opened in Scotland's Edinburgh. The session is entitled
    "Cooperation and Partnership: Coping with New Security Threats".

    A report by the special representative of the OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly on Nagornyy Karabakh, Goran Lennmarker, was discussed jointly
    by the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations, Sattar Safarov, a member
    of the Azerbaijani delegation, told ANS.

    [Safarov, on the phone] The report said that [Azerbaijan's] occupied
    lands should be liberated and cleared of mines. Refugees and displaced
    persons should return to their lands. It denounced aggression and
    ethnic separatism. We started to discuss these issues. The
    Parliamentary Assembly should impose economic and political sanctions
    against the aggressor state.

    [Correspondent] The Armenian side had its own arguments.

    [Safarov] In support of their position, Armenia's representatives said
    that Karabakh was made part of Azerbaijan in the past. The talks were
    proceeding very seriously. The Armenian side tried to justify their
    aggressive policy. In turn, we criticized Armenia's aggressive stance.

    [Correspondent] The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly chairman and
    secretary-general delivered their reports after the discussions [as
    heard].
