BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 11. The General
Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)
condemns the illegal exploitation of natural resources by Armenia
in Azerbaijan's Karabakh, contrary to the trilateral statement of
the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders of November 10, 2020,
trend reports.
“Exploitation of mineral deposits without due regard to
environmental standards is not only a breach of international law
and the national legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan, but is
also a source serious and legitimate concern,” the statement
said.
According to the statement, the General Secretariat urges all
matters of dispute to be resolved through dialogue, and highly
commends Azerbaijan's efforts in this regard.
Recalling the resolution adopted by the OIC Council of Foreign
Ministers at its 48th session held in Pakistan's Islamabad on March
22-23, 2022, the General Secretariat further calls for the
normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia based on
mutual recognition and respect for each other's sovereignty,
territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders.
