Azerbaijani opposition intends to establish the National Resistance Movement due to the situation with Nagorno-Karabakh, member of MP group 'Musavat', Panah Huseyin, told media on October 20. 

"We are obliged to establish the National Resistance Movement to draw attention of Azerbaijani society and the international community towards Nagorno-Karabakh problem. The meetings are held between opposition parties on this regards. The decision will be made soon," Huseyn said.

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.
