Baku. OREANDA-NEWS . July 1, 2009. Milli Majlis (Azerbaijanis
parliament) is ready to raise it responsibility for settlement of
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Garabagh conflict.

At todays session Musavat (Equality) opposition partys MP Nasib Nasibli
stated that he intended to submit to the Milli Majlis management a
draft law on increasing the role of the legislative body in conflict
settlement.

Increase of Milli Majliss role in Garabagh issue is necessary as
this problem has remained unsettled for a long time. The MPs should
prepare a draft decision on the occasion. A document we have drafted
stipulates that executive power should develop and submit a national
program on Garabagh for approval of parliament. In its turn, Milli
Majlis should conduct discussions at the end of the year within this
national programme, Nasibli said.

Armenia is occupying 20% of Azerbaijani territory following the
conflict. Ceasefire has been applied between the two countries
since 1994.
