Azerbaijan to intensify pressure on international organizations to resolve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2011

Azerbaijan, during 2011, intends to intensify pressure on international and religious organizations responsible for the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"Azerbaijan will intensify pressure on international and religious organizations in 2011, which are responsible for the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social and Political Department head Ali Hasanov told Trend.

UN has adopted four resolutions, which have not been fulfilled till now, to resolve the conflict, Hasanov said, adding that "if this organization is a guarantor of territorial integrity of states, it should exert appropriate pressure on Armenia," Hasanov said.

"International organizations remain committed to their position regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, however adherence to this position has not served to ensure Azerbaijan's territorial integrity," he said.

Azerbaijan has voiced similar demands before OSCE and other international organizations of which it is a member, Hasanov said.

According to him, in 2011 Azerbaijan will also intensify pressure on the OSCE Minsk Group member countries. "Either they resolve this issue by exerting thorough pressure on the side, which violates international legal norms, or Azerbaijan uses all its resources to liberate its own territories in accordance with international law," Hasanov said.
