Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 10 /Trend, S.Agayeva/

Azerbaijani mission to the EU has sent a protest letter to the President of European Parliament Jerzy Buzek in connection with the demonstration of a film, based on false materials, during a meeting of the Armenian delegation with the representatives of European Parliament, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov told Trend on Friday.
According to him, the document has also been sent to the Chairman of Committee on Cooperation with South Caucasus countries. The letter also points to the inadmissibility of such propaganda of the Armenian side.

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 United States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

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