Baku. Elnur Mammadli – APA. "At the next session of OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly stance will be taken on the Minsk Group co-chairs’ voting
against the resolution on "The situation in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories" in UN," head of Azerbaijani delegation to OSCE PA,
Vice-Speaker of the Parliament Bahar Muradova said, APA reports.
She said that Azerbaijani side had always expressed its dissatisfaction
with the ineffective activity of the Minsk Group.
"Azerbaijani State and President have concrete position and it has been
delivered to them on different levels. We know why the co-chairs did
so. But they themselves say otherwise it will have negative impact on
the process of negotiations. I think that they should at least abstain
in order not to make negative influence on the negotiations. That’s
why we will express deep concern at the session of the Parliamentary
Assembly", he said.
As regards the prospects of peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
problem in this format, Bahar Muradova expressed her hope that the
process of negotiations would have positive results.
"Any problem can be solved through negotiations. The main thing is
that one should be frank. Our position is open and fair. Results can
be achieved, if the opposite side is also fair", she said.
