Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr I. Alizadeh / Germany is supporting Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan, a member of German Bundestag, the deputy chairman of the Christian-Democratic Union fraction, Andreas Schokenhoff said, he is part of a delegation that is visiting Azerbaijan for four days,
"We uphold Azerbaijan's fair position in this issue," the German MP said.
According to him, settlement of the conflict through war is not good for the people. "Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be settled in accordance with the interests of the people, this is peacefully, for war will create new problems," he noted.
As for the visit of several Bundestag members to Nagorno-Karabakh without Azerbaijan's agreement, Schokenhoff noted that such cases are of a private nature and do not affect the policy pursued by official Berlin with regards to the conflict.
"Our position is that Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. The official delegation of the German Bundestag will not pay an official visit to Nagorno-Karabakh," he noted.
The German delegation includes Bundestag MPs - Dr. Andreas Schokenhoff, Thomas Barreis, Axel Fischer, Eduard Lintner and Otto Hauser.
