Agramunt noted that this issue, along with security problems and migration crisis will hold the main place in the PACE’s agenda in the near future.
January 26, participants of the session will discuss the report on "Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan" prepared by MP Robert Walter (UK), and the report by MP Milica Markovic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) "Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water".
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
