Speaker declines to put Garabagh on parliamentary agenda

MPs suggested in a Milli Majlis (MM) session on Friday that the Upper
Garabagh conflict be discussed in the parliament.

Speaker Murtuz Alasgarov said there was no need to put the issue on
the parliament’s agenda considering the fact the conflict remains
unresolved. He said talks are currently underway on the issue on
different levels and pointed out the upcoming meetings of the two
countries’ foreign ministers and presidents.

Alasgarov further suggested waiting for feedback from western
countries and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. He voiced his
confidence that Azerbaijan will not accept any compromises and that
the country’s territorial integrity will be restored according to
international norms.
