Baku criticizes int’l community's position on Nagorno-Karabakh
By Sara Rajabova
Ziyafet Askarov, the first deputy speaker of Azerbaijani Parliament, criticized international community's position on Nagorno-Karabakh.
He made remarks at NATO Parliamentary Assembly's 86th seminar "Rose-Roth" on June 16.
Askarov said the resolutions adopted on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict haven't been implemented yet, and no sanctions have been imposed on Armenia.
He also added that international community pursues policy of double standards towards Azerbaijan.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.
Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.
