the 14th anniversary of the occupation of Shusha, Trend reports.

The document noted that the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and
maintenance of Nagorno-Karabakh in the exclusive jurisdiction of
Azerbaijan was numerously confirmed by UN, OSCE, CE and all
countries, while Armenia ignores the international rule of law and
opinion of the international community.

states its unwillingness to execute them, she underlined.

construction facilities, 103 culture objects, 249 historic monuments
and museums were destroyed.

organizations will support the completion of Armenian aggression
which continues many years, peaceable resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, repatriation of refugees and internally
displaced people (IDPs), rehabilitation of their rights, as well as
sanctions on Armenia.

The statement was sent to the UN Secretary General, UN High
Commissariat n Refugees, UNESCO, the Council of Europe, OSCE and
