Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 21 / Trend A.Huseynbala /
Azerbaijani Parliamentary Deputy Speaker Bahar Muradova does not exclude the possibility of meeting between of the Azerbaijani and Armenian parliamentarians in the near future.
"Usually we meet with the Armenian MPs at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Council of Europe and in the conferences of other international organizations," Muradova told journalists today. "Perhaps, we will meet with the Armenian MPs at a future session and we will get an opportunity to exchange views on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.'
The last meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian MPs was held in Moscow in late October.
"Meetings with them are not objective for us, and we do not assign them," Muradova said. "These meetings usually occur on the activities of international organizations, or they have a place in one or another form through these organizations."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
