OFFICIAL BAKU FOR MEETING OF PARLIAMENTARIANS
Ziyafat Asgarov, Milli Majlis First Vice-Speaker said Azerbaijan gave its consent to attending a conference of Azerbaijani and Armenian parliamentarians, to be held by the mediation of international organizations.
He said during the visit of Chairman of the PACE Subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Lord Russell Jonston to Azerbaijan and Armenia last week, one of the discussions was holding a conference with participation of Azerbaijani and Armenian parliamentarians in Strasbourg in April.
First-Vice Speaker noted, though we have participated in several such events, but they gave no results so far, that is why Azerbaijan wants to see tangible results of events, held by the mediation of international organizations.
“As you know, PACE adopted 14/16 resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh in 2005 and the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia and proposals regarding the conflict settlement were reflected in this document. The PACE mentioned Subcommittee was established to control implementation of the principles in the document,” Ziyafat Asgarov said. He stressed that official Baku wants the international organizations to seriously regard the question and exert pressure upon Armenia.
Ziyafat Asgarov also added that Azerbaijan is against bilateral cooperation with Armenia unless the conflict finds its solution.
