E. Mammadyarov Calls on Armenia to Withdraw Troops from Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan
Baku / 29.09.18 / Turan: "We urge the international community to send a strong message and put pressure on Armenia to ensure its compliance with international law and the immediate and unconditional implementation of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict." This was stated by Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, speaking at the UN General Assembly on September 28.
If the new Armenian leadership calls itself democratic, then it must act in accordance with the rule of law and democratic values, create conditions for the return of the uprooted people to their native lands, and withdraw their armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
In its resolutions of 822 (1993), 853 (1993), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993), the UN Security Council acknowledged the fact that military force was used against Azerbaijan; that such actions are unlawful and in contradiction with the purposes and principles of UN Charter; and that they constitute an obvious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. However, the key Security Council demands, including in the first place the withdrawal of the Armenian forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, have not been implemented yet.
"The resolution of the conflict is possible only on the basis of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders," Mammadyarov said. -02D-
