Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 27
Trend:
The report entitled "Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan" was not adopted under the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen's pressure, Emil Huseynli, the head of the 'Support for youth development - Dushunce' public association told Trend Jan. 27.
"This once again proves that the OSCE Minsk Group takes an unfair position," he said.
He said that it is time to change the staff of the OSCE Minsk Group's co-chairing countries.
"I think that Turkey and Germany must be included in the composition of the OSCE Minsk Group," he said. "If the composition of the co-chairmen is not supplemented, their monopoly will only grow and they will become prisoners of the Armenian lobby."
Huseynli thinks that by the recent action the co-chairmen have once again demonstrated that they are monopolists and take an unfair position.
"Why must Azerbaijan turn a blind eye to the activity of the co-chairmen, conducting discussions at one table with the representatives of the separatist regime of Nagorno-Karabakh?," Huseynli asked.
He considers that the unadopted resolutions of PACE on the Azerbaijan's occupied territories showed that foreign states, international organizations follow their own interests, but not the principle of justice.
The chairman of the NGO welcomed the resolution titled "Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water" adopted by PACE and added that this document shows that Armenia is a country-aggressor.
"Thus, yet another international document recognized Armenia as a country-aggressor," said Huseynli.
The resolution titled "Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water" was adopted Jan. 26 at a PACE winter session.
The resolution titled "Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan", prepared by MP Robert Walter (UK), was not accepted.
Earlier, OSCE Minsk Group's co-chairs James Warlick (USA), Igor Popov (Russia) and Pierre Andrieu (France) spread an appeal about discussions of these resolutions, which was condemned by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
