Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 28 / Trend M. Aliyev /

The Azerbaijani delegation will spare no effort in the winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to discuss the resolution on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the spring session of the organization, Eldar Ibrahimov, member of the Azerbaijani delegation to OSCE PA, told Trend.

He said that a proposal will be made to adopt a specific resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh at the winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, together with the views of the unsatisfactory activity of the Minsk Group.

The winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held in the Austrian capital of Vienna on February 23-25.

Ibrahimov said that vacant post of Special Representative on Nagorno-Karabakh in OSCE creates problems in resolving this issue. Earlier, Goran Lennmarker held this post.

"We are interested in appointing a fair person able to consider the issue on Nagorno-Karabakh at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly," he said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the United States. - are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
