Organization of Islamic Conference urges Islamic states not to cooperate with aggressor Armenia

"Islamic countries must put pressure on the OIC member states that violate resolutions condemning Armenia's aggressor policy and establish ties with Yerevan," OIC Deputy Secretary General Izzet Kamal Mutfi said at a press conference on at the end of the conference of the heads of the law enforcement agencies of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Baku.

The conference of the heads of the law enforcement agencies of the Organization of the Islamic Conference was held in Baku on April 21-22.

The conference aimed to identify main directions of mutual cooperation among the OIC member states.

Transnational organized crime, international terrorism, extremism, aggressive separatism, trafficking of arms, narcotics, psychotropic drugs and their substitutes, human trafficking, illegal migration, legalization of funds and property obtained through crime, financing of terrorism and cooperation on combating corruption stood on the OIC conference's agenda.

The conference ended with Baku Declaration.

Mutfi said Islamic countries who respect Azerbaijan's territorial integrity must put pressure on those who violate these resolutions.

"If some countries violate OIC resolutions, it does not mean that OIC officials are pleased with this. OIC countries strongly condemn violation of resolutions," Mutfi 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.
