Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 14 / Trend , T.Hajiyev /
The Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno Karabakh is ready for talks with the Armenian community, Chairman Bayram Safarov told Trend on Friday.
Such meetings are essential to both communities, Safarov said, adding that they must be constant and contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is considering holding a meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities to resolve the conflict, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Deputy Speaker Bahar Muradova said on Friday.
She said she addressed the OSCE PA and discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and proposed to organize a meeting between the communities.
Muradova said OSCE Special Representative for the South Caucasus Joao Soares will visit the region in November or in January. Talks about a possible meeting will be held.
Safarov said the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh has been working in different directions.
One of the community's main tasks is to restore violated rights of persons, who became refugees and IDPS as a result of the Armenian aggression.
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.
