Following the meeting with the Azerbaijani delegation, Committee
chairperson Janja Klasinc has made a statement
Baku – APA. Following the meeting with the Azerbaijani delegation,
chairperson of the Foreign Relations Committee of the National
Assembly of Slovenia Janja Klasinc has made a statement, APA reports.
Janja Klasinc said that members of the Foreign Relations Committee
discussed the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, stressed the importance of
speedy and efficient peaceful settlement of the conflict,
unconditional withdrawal of the foreign military units from the
occupied territories and the real restoration of full sovereignty of
Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders as stated in
the resolution passed at the 86th plenary session of the UN General
Assembly on May 14, 2008, and reiterated in the resolutions and
documents of the UN, EU, Council of Europe and other international
organizations.
`Members of the delegation of the Azerbaijani Parliament led by Elkhan
Suleymanov informed Slovenian parliamentarians about the situation in
Nagorno Karabakh, the killing of 20 000 persons as a result of the war
between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1992-1994 and displacement of
hundreds of thousands of people from Nagorno Karabakh and seven
adjacent regions occupied by Armenia.
20-year diplomatic and mediation activities have not produced results
up to now. The Nagorno Karabakh problem remains open and moreover, the
frozen conflict can anytime turn into a crisis on dangerous scale.
It is clear that the status quo doesn’t contribute to the solution of
the problem, can even worsen the situation and create obstacles for
stability of the strategically important region and hinder the
development of both EU partners involved in the conflict.”
