MILLI MAJLIS SPEAKER MEETS OSCE PA`S SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE ON
NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT
Baku, February 14 (AzerTAc). Speaker of Azerbaijan Parliament (Milli
Majlis) Ogtay Asadov met Friday with OSCE PA`s Special Representative
on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Goran Lennmarker.
Asadov praised the fact that international organizations paid more
attention to the South Caucasus following the events of August 2008 in
the region.
He noted that delay in settlement of conflicts is a threat to not only
the South Caucasus, but Europe itself. â??So, such conflicts
must find their soonest solution,â?? he added.
Asadov also underlined that the right to self-determination of nations
living in Nagorno-Karabakh could only be realized on the basis of
Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity.
He pointed out that resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute would
contribute to Azerbaijan`s rapid integration into Europe.
Goran Lennmarker, in turn, expressed his satisfaction with being in
Azerbaijan again.
According to him, the international community`s increasing its
attention to the South Caucasus will have positive impact on
settlement of existing conflicts in the region.
The sides also discussed other issues of mutual interest.
