Baku, Azerbaijan, May 7
By Ilhama Isabalayeva – Trend:

The resolution adopted by the California State Assembly’s Rules
Committee has no legal force for Azerbaijan.

The First Deputy Chairman of the Milli Majlis (Parliament), Ziyafat
Asgarov made remarks on the draft resolution calling on the U.S.

Government to recognize the puppet regime called “Nagorno Karabakh
Republic” introduced by Assemblyman Mike Gatto.

“It is absurd. Whatever decision is made on this question, it does
not matter,” – he said.

Now, the Armenian lobby has announced that the resolution will be
considered on the Assembly floor on May 8. This is not a randomly
chosen date. May 8 is the 22nd anniversary of the occupation of
the city of Shusha – the cradle of Azerbaijani music and culture in
Karabakh – by Armenia.

It should be noted that one of the members of the committee who adopted
the draft resolution – Nazarian is an Armenian, and deputy chairman
of the committee Wilk married an Armenian woman, and recently joined
to the Armenian Gregorian Church.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
