Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 1 / Trend H.Bagirov / M.Aliyev /
New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) MP Mubariz Gurbanli proposed adoption of law on occupied territories.
"The Azerbaijani parliament must adopt a law on the occupied territories by Armenia," NAP Deputy Executive Secretary Gurbanli said at today's parliamentary meeting.
Such a law is important from legal and political points of view, as well as propaganda, he said.
"As this law, will testify for the occupation of our territories by Armenia," he 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 seven 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 region and the occupied territories.
