Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.9 / Trend, S.Agayeva /
The policy of international organizations toward the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict does not satisfy Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social and Political Department head Ali Hasanov told journalists today.
"Their policy during the conflict and the measures taken afterwards do not satisfy us entirely, as no pressure has been exerted on Armenia, which openly violates international legal norms. International organizations don't exert pressure on Armenia," Hasanov said.
Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is violated, Armenian troops occupy Azerbaijan, and this must end, he said.
"In general, there is no serious international will toward ensuring international legal norms. Therefore, I, addressing the event with criticism, urged delegates of international organizations and the countries which they represent to exert pressure on Armenia, to help bring Azerbaijan's just demands to the world community, to assist in the return of more than 1 million refugees to their homes," Hasanov told journalists.
A three-day regional workshop on the topic "Structured dialogue" kicked off in Baku today.
The event is attended by delegations from 17 countries, including Armenia. The main topic is the state, problems and prospects of interaction between global structures.
"Also, the workshop discussed human rights in general, ensuring favorable living conditions for different groups of the population in the region and the world, and other issues. In Azerbaijan, the problem of the presence of more than 1 million refugees and IDPs has remained unsolved for over 20 years. International organizations make insufficient efforts to address this problem. Human rights are violated and this must end," Hasanov said.
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. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
