Azerbaijan, Baku, May 25 / Trend M. Aliyev /

A resolution on South Caucasus adopted by the European Parliament, calling on Armenia to withdraw its troops from the territory of Azerbaijan, can be considered as success of Azerbaijan's foreign policy, chairman of the Center for Political Innovations and Technologies Mubariz Ahmadoglu told Trend.

He said that the resolution indicates that 20-year propaganda-machine of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora was absolutely crushed. "Before the adoption of the resolution by the European Parliament, Azerbaijan had doubts about the influence of the Armenian diaspora in resolving of the European organizations", Ahmadoglu said.

Political analyst said that this is an important result with far-reaching consequences. Doubts of Azerbaijanis in the European organizations will reduce, confidence will increase. It will lead to more intensive cooperation with Europe.

Political analyst also stressed statements of the U.S. State Department, many international organizations, including UN, OSCE, EU, non-recognition of "parliamentary elections" held by the separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh, as confirmation of the above-mentioned theses.

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 resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
