Azeri MP reports to PACE on Armenia's new occupation plans

12 April 2006 [14:05] - TODAY.AZ
A member of the Azeri delegation at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday introduced a document on Armenia's new occupation plans posing a serious threat to the stability and development in the South Caucasus region.

MP Rafael Huseynov's document, submitted to the CE Ministerial Committee, says that Armenia, which is regarded in a special Council of Europe resolution as aggressor that has carried out ethnic cleansing against Azeris, has laid out its new occupation claims by intensifying shooting on the frontline. This country, which has occupied Nagorno karabakh and seven adjacent districts, calls these territories "a buffer zone".

"Armenian armed forces, despite the existing ceasefire, are regularly carrying out military operations in the areas bordering on Azerbaijan located 100 km away from Nagorno Karabakh," the document said.

According to AssA-Irada, the MP also indicated that these attacks causing considerable casualties among military contingent and civilians, as well as financial damages, clearly demonstrate Armenia's objective to occupy new territories.
