POLITICAL PARTIES CONDEMN POSITION OF OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIR COUNTRIES
At the initiative of the New Azerbaijan Party, representatives of various political parties gathered at the “roundtable” meeting on March 19 at the Ataturk Center to protest against the position of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, which voted against the resolution “The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan” adopted at the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly.
The event brought representatives of political parties, NGOs and public represented in the Milli Majlis.
YAP deputy chairman, executive secretary Ali Ahmadov said Azerbaijan was hopeful that OSCE Minsk Group peace process will produce positive results, and Azerbaijan`s occupied territories would be freed. He expressed regret that while OSCE meetings adopted some documents ensuring fair resolution of the conflict, Armenia`s non-constructive position did not allow reaching the agreement.
He pointed out that OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs were not consistent in their efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement of the conflict. Their statements distorting the essence of the conflict have a negative impact on the process of talks.
While the resolution “The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan” was adopted at the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries voted against it. It casts shadow on their objectivity and indicates that they show solidarity with aggressive Armenia.
Ahmadov said the position of co-chair countries is “unacceptable”. It contradicts the UN resolutions No 822, 853, 874 and 884, which demand withdrawal of Armenian forces.
Speaking at the meeting were members of the Milli Majlis: chairman of the Ana Veten party Fazail Agamaly, Chairman of the Great Gurulus (Establishment) Party Fazil Mustafayev, President of the National NGO Forum Azay Guliyev and Zahid Oruc. They strongly condemned the position of co-chair countries.
