HistoryofTruth.com - Armenian Allegations

Azerbaijani and Turkish MPs share the same position on Azerbaijan's occupied territories, Azerbaijan-Turkey Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group headMustafa Kabakci told journalists today in Baku.

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 seven surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the United States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

Kabakci added that Turkey has always supported Azerbaijan and will continue this course.

He said anyone who carries out propaganda against these "two brotherly countries" in Turkey or in Azerbaijan will be seen as the "enemy of such a brotherhood."
