OSCE has intensified its activities to find a solution to bloody Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as the issue was top on agenda during the Baku visit of Chairperson-in-office, Foreign Minister of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

He met with IDPs from Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region on June 30.

During the meeting Steinmeier said that Germany as the OSCE chairing country seeks to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Addressing the meeting, chairman of the Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh Public Union, head of Shusha District Executive Authority Bayram Safarov highlighted the history and outcomes of Armenia's military aggression against Azerbaijan.

"Armenia continues its aggressive policy despite the resolutions of international organizations," he said.

Members of the Public Union, rector of Baku Music Academy Farhad Badalbayli and MP Rovshan Rzayev spoke about the Armenian occupation. They stressed necessity of enhancing efforts of the international community and organizations to put an end to the existing status-quo and ensure the repatriation of Azerbaijani IDPs. They also made an emphasis on Armenia's refusal from fulfilling four resolutions adopted by the United Nations.

The UN Security Council adopted 822, 853, 874 and 884 resolutions in 1993 concerning unconditional withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from occupied territories.

Rzayev claimed that living together with Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh does not seem so unbelievable for Azerbaijanis.

Even today, despite difficult circumstances and war, more than 120,000 Armenians live safe on Azerbaijani territory, which indicates the strong will of the nation for coexistence in peaceful conditions.
