Azerbaijan, Baku, July 16 /Trend K.Zarbaliyeva/
Nobody wants the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to resume. Official OSCE representatives are not as concerned with the conflict's resolution, as simply preventing the confict from reaching the point of aggression, Azerbaijani Parliamentary Deputy Chairman, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to OSCE PA Bahar Muradova said in an interview to the official website of the ruling party Yeni Azerbaijan.
"Many say that the prevention of the conflict resume is not the main goal, but if it turns out, it can be considered a big success. But we can not consider it as a success. It is necessary to prevent the decline of the intensity and direct it towards the settlement of the conflict. Of course, it depends not only on our efforts, but also on the willingness of the co-chairs to resolve the conflict," Muradova said.
The intensity of the conflict settlement should not arouse zealous relations between the co-chairs, Muradova said.
"The intensity of the process should be aimed at the result. In any case, the growing economy and military power of Azerbaijan, concerned circles, that support Armenia, in addition to the Armenians themselves. This issue is also concerned about the forces that are
interested in resolving the conflict through peaceful means more than through force. We will see what will be in the result of this intensity. Although I do not want to make predictions, but I remain of the opinion that it is better to hold negotiation under these conditions," Muradova said.
She noted that the fair position of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict causes a lot of support in the world due to the policy of the President.
The OSCE has a great potential for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but do not use it, Muradova said.
She noted that the activities of this organization cause discontent in the Azerbaijani society due to the lack of pressure on Armenia.
"OSCE Secretary General also said that there will be no pressure on any side of the conflict. How can you not to say, "You made it" to party that violated the principles of international law? Azerbaijani society is concerned with such approaches," Muradova 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.
