Italian newspaper writes about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Rome, November 6 (AZERTAC). Popular Italian “Il Sole 24 Ore” daily has posted article headlined “Nagorno-Karabakh, a forgotten conflict”.
The article highlights the history of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and peace talks over the settlement of the problem. The newspaper notes that despite the ceasefire agreement reached in May, 1994, the conflict is not “frozen”, and probability is high that the war between the two countries can resume.
Commenting on the position of Azerbaijan, the author says liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, which had been occupied by the Armenian armed units, is a key condition for settlement of the conflict.
The newspaper also features remarks by deputy head of Azerbaijan`s Presidential Administration, chairman of foreign relations department Novruz Mammadov: “Negotiation process to find a peaceful solution to the conflict has continued for almost 20 years. In spite of efforts by international organizations, including the European Union, no progress has ever been reached.”
The article says four resolutions of the United Nations Security Council demanding liberation of Azerbaijan`s occupied territories, return of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs have not been fulfilled by Armenia.
Stressing Azerbaijan`s strategic importance, the author draws attention to Azerbaijan-related energy projects, saying the country`s gas will be transported to the European markets via Trans-Adriatic pipeline in 2019.
