The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) has sent a letter to the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairmen protesting against the resettlement of Armenian
families in the territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh.

In the letter to Bernard Fassier (France), Igor Popov (Russia) and
Robert Bradtke (US) the NAP drew attention to the media reports about
the resettlement of more than 200 Armenian families from Kyrgyzstan
to those territories.

“While intensive and successive negotiations are going on the
settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the OSCE Minsk Group,
organizing ‘new Armenian settlement’ in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh
region of Azerbaijan can seriously damage these negotiations,” read
the letter.

“An attempt to artificially change the demographic situation in
this occupied territory, which has been cleansed from Azerbaijanis,
is aimed at strengthening Armenia’s aggressive policy,” it added.

Further the letter said that “the action of the Armenian side violates
the norms and principles of the international law, runs counter to
the four known resolutions of the UN Security Council, decisions of
the Council of Europe and OSCE Parliamentary Assembly”.

“The New Azerbaijan Party expresses deep concern of the Azerbaijani
people over the settlement of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, calls
on OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to condemn unambiguously the ‘policy of
settlement’ that negates the results of the peace talks and impedes the
constructive efforts towards a peaceful solution of the conflict and to
take steps to prevent its negative results in time,” read the letter.
