Azay Guliyev offers PACE to work out mechanisms of implementation of
UN and OSCE resolutions on Armenia.

Chairman of the State Support to NGO Azay Guliyev has raised the issue
of the resolution of the Karabakh conflict at the PACE winter session,
said sources in the public relations department of the Council of
the State Support to NGO.

He noted that though the negotiations had continued for more than
15 years, Armenia’s nonconstructive position hampers the adoption of
such a decision. More than a million of people have become refugees
and IDPs in the result of occupation of 20% lands. Azerbaijan spares
no effort for the peaceful settlement of the conflict. However,
Armenia does not execute requirements of four UN resolutions, as well
as a number of demands, fixed in the documents of the OSCE and the
Council of Europe and does not free the Azerbaijani lands. Therefore,
the deputy considers it important to adopt definite mechanisms of the
implementation of the UN resolutions and OSCE documents at an annual
PACE session to be held in Oslo.

Azerbaijan cannot wait for another 15 years of ineffective negotiations
and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly must present a definite position
on this issue.

In turn, head of the Armenian delegation in PACE Aram Safaryan tried
to distract attention of the listeners from the deputy’s speech.

However, Guliyev was in time to point at the maneuver of the Armenian
side.
