BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 8. The Minsk Group
(MG) of the OSCE demonstrated a clear inability to settle the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Nizami Safarov, member of
Azerbaijan's parliamentary delegation in the CIS Interparliamentary
Assembly, said during the international conference dedicated to the
30th anniversary of the Constitution of Azerbaijan and the 107th
anniversary of the Parliament of Azerbaijan, Trend reports.


According to him, the process of restoring Azerbaijan's state
independence at the end of the second half of the last century was
met with armed aggression from Armenia, based on territorial claims
against Azerbaijan that grossly violated international law.


Safarov noted that four UN Security Council resolutions on
Karabakh, which demanded the immediate, unconditional, and complete
withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the occupied regions,
remained on paper.


He recalled that during the 44-day Second Karabakh War and
short-term anti-terrorist measures, Azerbaijan fully restored its
sovereignty and constitutional legal order throughout the
country.


The MP added that the country's political leadership is
currently purposefully pursuing a peace agenda, a clear result of
which was the signing of a joint declaration in Washington on
August 8 and the initialing of the peace agreement between
Azerbaijan and Armenia.


To recall, the OSCE Minsk Group was established in 1992 during
the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), which
has since evolved into the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Its primary objective was to
facilitate a diplomatic and negotiated settlement to the ongoing
hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding the
Nagorno-Karabakh region. However, rather than facilitating a
resolution to the conflict, this group failed to contribute any
constructive outcomes towards the resolution process.


An international conference dedicated to the 30th anniversary of
the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the 107th
anniversary of the Azerbaijani parliament was held in Baku. Titled
“Heydar Aliyev—the Founder of Constitutionalism and Parliamentarism
in Sovereign Azerbaijan,” the event highlighted the legacy of
Azerbaijan’s national institutions and their development under
Heydar Aliyev.
