Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug.12 / Trend K.Zarbaliyeva /

Azerbaijani Public Union for Introducing National Heroes developed a package of proposals on the solution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the union said at a news conference ay Trend Company on Aug.12.

The political researches center of the union determined the possible solutions to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in its Chess package, Deputy Chairman of the union, Abdul Safabayli said.

The union avoids publicizing the proposals, considering that only president should be informed about them. 

About 90 percent of proposals on solution of the conflict are secret and only president should be informed about them. The proposals developed by the union will benefit Armenia, Iran, Russia, U.S. and Turkey, as well, Safabayli added.

Armenia has occupied 20% of Azerbaijan's territory - Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. The occupation began in 1988. Azerbaijan lost the Nagorno-Karabakh, except of Shusha and Khojali, in December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian Armed Forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and Nagorno-Karabakh's seven surrounding regions. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful, but fruitless negotiations.

In 1992, Minsk Group was founded within OSCE by 10 states to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by peaceful means. Three states including US, Russia and France has been acting as co-chairmen of Minsk Group since 1997.

The Azerbaijani Justice Ministry registered the Azerbaijani Public Union for Introducing National Heroes in February, 2001.
