Politicians and MPs of Azerbaijan made different suggestions on the ways of solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The chairman of opposition Unified Azerbaijan Popular Front Party and member of parliament Gudrat Hasanguliyev said that fair solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through peaceful talks does not exist.

"No fact of occupation in the world found a fair solution in a peaceful manner. Azerbaijan must itself liberate seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh and then resume negotiations. And politicians should prepare nation for this," Hasanguliyev said at the scientific-theoretical conference on "The Role and tasks of Political Parties and NGOs in Solving the Karabakh Conflict".

The MP said that the opposition parties, which undertook obligations before the Council of Europe to resolve the conflict peacefully, should abandon their signature.

"The reasons why they do not do it are clear. They think if they withdraw signature, West will refuse cooperation," Hasanguliyev said.

In his remarks at the conference, chairman of opposition Adalat Party and MP Ilyas Ismayilov said he did not see anything improper in undertaking such an obligation.

"Application of a peaceful path to resolving conflicts is an international principle. But if the conflict is possible to be settled through refusal from signature, then I will do it first," said Ismayilov.

Chairman of opposition Democratic Party Sardar Jalaloglu said that the conflict must be made in a legal framework.

"Resolution of the conflict should be moved from political into legal arena. International mediators do not participate permanently in any of conflicts existing in the world. Mediators deal with only those that delay the conflict ensuring the interests of their countries," he said.

He stated that the government and opposition should take a unified position on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Chairman of opposition Democratic Reforms Party and MP Asim Mollazade said that the facts of military crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan must be brought to the attention of the world community.

"Unfortunately, the world community is not completely aware of these facts. Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should not be used by any parties for their own purposes. This kind of national question should not be used for public campaigns of political parties in the debate with other parties," Mollazade said.
