Islamic group condemns Armenia in two resolutions
A parliamentary committee of the Organization for Islamic
Conference (OIC) has adopted two resolutions labeling Armenia,
which occupies part of Azerbaijan’s territory, as an invading
country, says an Azerbaijani lawmaker attending a session of the
OIC parliamentary union underway in Kampala, Uganda.
Sabir Rustamkhanly said one of the documents, passed at the OIC parliament’s committee on political and economic affairs, is called The Occupation of Upper Garabagh by the Republic of Armenia, while the other one is called the Islamic Conference Youth Organization’s Work and Recognition of the Khojaly Massacre Worldwide.
The Azerbaijani delegation is holding meetings with representatives of the OIC member states to achieve adopting the resolutions at the sixth OIC session, due January 30-31. Rustamkhanly said he and his counterpart, Javanshir Pashazada, have already met with Mahmud Kilic, chairman of the organization’s parliament, as part of efforts to muster support for the initiative.
Armenia and Azerbaijan waged a war in the early 1990s, which claimed some 30,000 lives and displaced about a million Azerbaijanis. Armenia has been occupying over 20% of Azerbaijan’s internationally-recognized territory since then. The ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but the OSCE-brokered peace talks have been largely fruitless so far.*
