Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 8 / Trend /

The Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh accuses international organizations of putting no pressure on Armenia.

"The international community, including the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen, must put pressure on Armenia to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict", a board member of the public association "Nagorno-Karabakh community of the Azerbaijani Republic" MP Elman Mammadov said in an interview with the website of the ruling "New Azerbaijan Party".

"If world nations say that it is time to resolve this conflict, concrete actions must be taken", said Mammadov, adding that Armenia does not want to reach peace normally.

Mammadov added that Serzh Sargsyan's recent statements once again confirm this.

"One may regret that few people consider Armenia as an aggressor and occupier", Mammadov said. "If measures are taken under international law, the situation would be completely different. But the aggressor is not yet officially called an aggressor and the international community cannot expect any constructive action from Armenia."

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 seven 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 peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
