Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan.15 / Trend , A.Huseynbala /
Azerbaijani MP believes signing "Road map" between Azerbaijan and Turkey is necessary.
"The proposal for signing the "Road map" between Azerbaijan and Turkey is still urgent. This document is required for taking joint adequate steps by countries in unexpected situations occurring in the region and worldwide," the member of the committee on security and defence of the Milli Majlis, Zahid Oruj told Trend today.
Signing "Road map" between Turkey and Azerbaijan was offered at one of the meeting of the Azerbaijani Parliament's autumn session in 2009.
According to Oruj, one of the regulations of the "Road map" should be related to advancing Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to the forefront in Turkey's policy.
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.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. General Assembly's resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
"This document should reflect Azerbaijan's obligations on recognition of Turkey's interests," he said.
