'Strengthening of Azerbaijan's military power directed to return occupied land'

The Azerbaijani parliament discussed today issues related to the twentieth anniversary of the Armenian occupation of Shusha.

Deputy Chairman Bahar Muradova, noting that Shusha has been for two decades under the heel of the Armenian occupiers, said she speaks not like a politician, but as an individual, exiled from native land.

"It's been 20 years since we lost Shusha, Karabakh. It's unbearable to tolerate double standards applied in the discussion of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Unfortunately, these standards do not change. International organizations have different attitudes toward Azerbaijan and Armenia, closing eyes to the violated rights of citizens of Azerbaijan while killers of our women and children at this time are in power in Armenia," she said.

Muradova said that international organizations should provide a legal assessment of occupation of Azerbaijani territories.

She also noted that Azerbaijan itself solves its problems and some forces do not like it.

"Today strengthening of the military power of Azerbaijan is directed to return the occupied land. International organizations, especially the UN, should adopt new decisions in connection with the Nagorno-Karabakh. Once the UN Security Council adopted resolution on the unconditional liberation of Armenian-occupied lands, but there is no mechanism for returning the land," she added.

Parliamentary chairman Ogtay Asadov said that there is no need to take new decisions on the Karabakh conflict at the level of the same international organizations, it's necessary, simply, to fulfill earlier resolutions and requirements.
