The UN and its Security Council and other international organizations and the international community must exert pressure on Armenia to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijani MPGanira Pashayeva said in her speech at the 10th Forum in Doha.
"The UN and its Security Council and other international organizations and the international community must exert pressure on Armenia for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Because this country does not want to implement any of the resolutions adopted by the international organizations, and the international organizations and community should not be indifferent to this and should use their mechanisms of action for their implementation," said Pashayeva.
The 10th Forum in Doha completed. The last day of the Forum focused on issues of security and conflict.
Pashayeva informed the Forum participants about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani territories, Armenia's non-recognition of resolutions of international organizations, including UN Security Council. She said that Armenia has not yet withdrawn from the occupied Azerbaijani territories and makes it impossible for one million Azerbaijanis to return their homes.
Later, a speech was made by Turkish diplomat, former head of the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey Senmez Koksal, who supported the position of Azerbaijan. He said that Turkey will continue to support Azerbaijan, because Armenia has occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories and should release them. Describing the efforts and steps of Turkey to resolve this problem, Koksal noted the importance of activating the mediators and international organizations in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh 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 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 region and the occupied territories.
