BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 29. Azerbaijan still
waiting for the answer from Armenia concerning the fate of nearly
4,000 Azerbaijanis who went missing during the first Karabakh war,
Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Sahiba Gafarova said at a
meeting of the Interparliamentary Assembly of Member Nations of the
Commonwealth of Independent States (IPA CIS) dedicated to the IPA's
30th anniversary, in Kazakhstan's Almaty, Trend reports.
She congratulated the meeting participants on the 30th
anniversary of establishing the IPA CIS and wished the organization
further development and progress.
Gafarova noted that the IPA was a platform for sharing
legislative practices in the political, legal, economic,
humanitarian and other fields.
According to her, despite the COVID-19 pandemic that has
engulfed the world for the past two years, the Parliament has
continued its activities within the IPA.
'Members of our delegation took part in face-to-face and online
events of the assembly and were represented in the leadership of
separate commissions,' Gafarova stated.
She also talked about the new realities in the South Caucasus
formed as a result of the liberation of Azerbaijan's territories
from the Armenian occupation. The speaker outlined that new
prospects for peace and cooperation emerged in the region during
the post-conflict period.
'Azerbaijan, being a supporter of peace, remains committed to
the implementation of the provisions of the trilateral statement
signed by Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian leaders on November 10,
2020. Azerbaijan expects Armenia to fulfill its obligations under
this statement,' Gafarova said.
She stressed that Armenia should demonstrate a constructive
approach to this issue and make efforts to normalize relations
based on mutual recognition of sovereignty, territorial integrity
and inviolability of international borders, as well as the
restoration of all economic ties and transport communications in
the region.
In her opinion, this is the only way to achieve peace and
stability in the region.
