Community head: Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh could not resist Azerbaijan without outside forces
Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh could not resist Azerbaijan without the support of other forces, Chairman of the Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh public union, head of the Shusha executive power, Bayram Safarov, said on Friday.
"Without outside influence, Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh would fail to violate the Azerbaijani laws," Safarov said.
He said that dialogue is the only way out for Armenians. This is also recognised by the international organisations.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent 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 Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
