BAKU, June 21 (Itar-Tass) – Member-states of the Organization of
the Islamic Conference (OIC) have issued a demand to Armenia to
immediately, unconditionally and irrevocably withdraw its armed units
from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
The demand is formulated in the Baku declaration — the final document
of the 33rd session of the OIC’s Council of Foreign Ministers.
OIC urged the international community to take all the necessary
measures towards achieving a peace agreement on the dragged-out
conflict in Karabakh, a region of Azerbaijan having a predominantly
Armenian population.
The declaration says the Foreign Ministers urge OIC member-states
to support Azerbaijan’s efforts to restore its territorial integrity
and sovereignty.
