This written declaration does not reflect the position of the Assembly; only of those members that have signed it. It will not be considered further by the Assembly.
Notwithstanding that 20 % of its territory was occupied by
Armenia and that nearly 1 million of its citizens turned into the
refugees and IDPs, Azerbaijan is making continuous efforts towards
a peaceful solution of the conflict. Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 1416 (2005) not only refers to the Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh
and 7 adjacent Azerbaijani districts, but also finds necessary a
peaceful solution of the above-mentioned conflict.
The presidents of the United States, France and Russia expressed
the necessity for drafting a common peace agreement and made a joint
statement at the meeting of the G-8 held in Italy in 2009 and in
Canada in 2010.
Armenia’s ignorance of the renovated Madrid principles proposed
by the OSCE Minsk group, which imply speeding up the solution of
the problem and regular violation of the cease-fire agreement by
this state along the entire contact line, generates concern.
By stating again the undesirability of the indicated level
of relations between its member states, the Assembly finds it necessary
to increase the concrete efforts towards the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani, Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict through diplomatic and peaceful means.
