Azerbaijan, Baku, August 4 / Trend J. Babayeva /
There is no political opposition in Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani MP Vahid Ahmadov said.
"Leaders of Azerbaijani political parties fail to demonstrate their position concerning Nagorno-Karabakh problem. They protect their own interests. One of reasons delaying settlement of the conflict is lack of political opposition," Ahmadov said during the scientific and theoretical conference on The role and responsibilities of political parties and NGOs in solving Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
According to MP, political opposition must not only make certain slogans. "Political opposition must meet with leadership of the country and put forward certain demands," Ahmadov said.
MP called on leaders of Azerbaijani political parties to demonstrate their will concerning Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7 districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
