The issue of Armenia's military aggression against Azerbaijan will be included in the agenda of the fall session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Deputy Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament and head of the Azerbaijani delegation at the OSCE PA Bahar Muradova told the ruling New Azerbaijan Party's website.

Muradova said that the fall session of the OSCE PA will be held on October 13-14 in Budva, Montenegro.

According to Muradova, discussions including those on human rights are expected at the event.

"Regardless of the session agenda, the Azerbaijani delegation will also bring to the agenda the question of the military aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan. It is a priority of our activity," Muradova said.

Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s. Long-standing efforts by US, Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.

As a result of the military aggression of Armenia, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing and almost 100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.

The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
