BAKU, Azerbaijan

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Minsk
group should ensure an Armenian withdrawal from Nagorno-Karabkh,
Azerbaijan said Thursday.

"Armenia's aggression and their occupation of our soils remain the
major threat to the security of Azerbaijan," Foreign Ministry
spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev said.

The Minsk group was formed to find a peaceful solution to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Hajiyev called on the group to enforce a UN Security Council
resolution demanding Armenian forces end their occupation of the
Azerbaijani territory.

Nagorno-Karabakh was seized by Armenian secessionists as the Soviet
Union broke up in the late 1980s.
