Representations of Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh opens abroad

Work is underway to create representations of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh in foreign countries, Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh Chairman and Shusha Region Executive Power Head Bayram Safarov said.

Safarov noted that considerable work has been done to bring the realities of the Karabakh conflict to the world. He said the Azerbaijani government pays special attention to this issue and work in this direction gives a result.

"Our embassies and Diaspora organizations in foreign countries are very active in this matter. We also continue our work aimed at exposing Armenia’s annexation policy at the international level," he said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
