Trend correspondent Q. Azizoglu: The upcoming 58th Rose-Roth seminar
of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Baku on 26-28 November will
focus on the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, the
Azerbaijani deputy speaker and head of the Azerbaijani delegation to
the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Ziyafat Asgarov, has told
journalists.

Asgarov said that the holding of this event in Azerbaijan was a move
towards the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict. “The NATO Parliamentary Assembly has been striving to make
its contribution to this issue. Azerbaijan’s main purpose at this
seminar, which will be attended by more than 80 deputies from almost
40 countries, is to ensure that the occupation of the Azerbaijani
lands is discussed, and we have achieved this,” Asgarov said.

Asgarov regretted that “some forces have an interest in disrupting
this event”. “But the main point is not who will attend the seminar,
but what issue will be discussed. That is why, one should take into
account the essence of the issue and not to stage a show about
somebody’s participation in this event,” he added.
