At the meeting, that discussed issues related to the current situation regarding to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, Colonel General Zakir Hasanov has once again brought to the attention of the guests that recognized by the international community Azerbaijani territories more than 20 years are under Armenian occupation, as a result of which more than a million people have been displaced.
