The political parties, represented in the Azerbaijani parliament,
condemn the position of the OSCE Minsk Group regarding the resolution
of the UN General Assembly on the Karabakh issue.

The due announcement is contained in a statement released by political
parties, functioning in Azerbaijan.

"The Azerbaijani people hoped for the positive results of talks held
in the framework of the OSCE Minsk group on the resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict, restoration of justice, release of
Azerbaijani lands, occupied by Armenians", the statement says.

According to the statement, Azerbaijan demonstrated position of
tolerance and constructiveness and took an active part in the
negotiation process with the co-chairs for the peaceful resolution
of the conflict.

"The fact that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs voted against the
adoption of the resolution of the UN General Assembly on Karabakh
caused disappointment and resentment in Azerbaijan. The OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs made the objectiveness of their activity doubtful
by coming out with a position solidary with occupant Armenia", the
statement says.

According to the statement, the political parties call on the OSCE
MInsk Group co-chairing countries to put an end to double standards
and not to undertake careless steps, which do not serve the peaceful
resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
