Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 7 / Trend T.Hajiyev /

The Unified Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (UPFPA) has submitted the bill "On the occupied territories of the Azerbaijan Republic" to parliament, the party told Trend.

UPFPA Chairman Gudrat Hasanguliyev submitted the bill developed by the party to the Azerbaijani parliament.

The Party took Georgia's experience while developing the bill.

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 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 the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
