Permanent mission of Azerbaijan to OSCE issues statement on situation in occupied territories
Permanent mission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the OSCE issued a statement on “Situation in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan” at the 1070th meeting of the Permanent Council on October 8, 2015.

AzVision.az reports quoting Twitter page of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Austria that the statement says: “Unlike other protracted conflicts in the OSCE area, the occupied Nagorno Karabakh region and seven adjacent districts are ethnically cleansed from Azerbaijanis and since 1988 Azerbaijan hosts more than one million of refugees and IDPs on its territory. The Minsk process launched since 1992 so far yielded no result and the conflict remains unresolved until this moment.

The Armenian President openly challenges the territorial integrity and internationally recognized sovereignty of Azerbaijan and through such actions violates fundamental principles of the Helsinki Final Act and relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.

In light of all continuous sufferings of our people and our acceptance to make peace with Armenia on the basis of international law, the Delegation of Azerbaijan is prompted to ask the Co-chairing countries, members of the Minsk Group and other OSCE participating States if this situation serves the cause of peace and those who believe in political resolution of the conflict? Or does it serve the interests and aggressive ambitions of the current Armenian government, making them confident that they are above the law and principles that govern this House?”
