"Karabakh issue would be considered by NATO in autumn"

“When I met with President of NATO Parliamentary Assembly John Tanner at the previous session, I asked why the military-political organization did not express opinion on Nagorno Karabakh issue. John Tanner promised that the issue would be considered in autumn. Council of Europe, European Union, UN Security Council have expressed opinion on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Why doesn’t NATO Parliamentary Assembly express its reaction?” first vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament, head of the delegation to NATO Parliamentary Assembly Ziyafat Asgarov said.

Asgarov said he gave John Tanner all resolutions adopted by the international organizations on Nagorno-Karabakh since 1992.

Ziyafat Asgarov said Armenia’s concern over the issue is understandable.

“Armenia will and must always feel concerned, because they understand that they have occupied the lands of another country, are pursuing aggressive policy. They do not want the international organizations to pass decision on it,” he said.

According to Ziyafat Asgarov, Armenia is being isolated from the international community. Speaker of the Armenian parliament Ovik Abramyan sent a letter to President of NATO PA John Tanner and expressed concern over the report on Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Autumn session of NATO Parliamentary Assembly will be held in Warsaw in November.
