The French website islamnews.fr has posted an article titled “Azerbaijan urges for observance of international law for settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict”.

The article highlights that the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has begun at the beginning of the XX century (in 1919 by the British and in 1921 by the Soviet power), noting that the territory belongs to Azerbaijan. It is stated that in February 1988 and May 1994 in Nagorno-Karabakh, located in the southwest of Azerbaijan, there were again heard volleys of heavy weapons.

As earlier reported, the heads of state and government participating in the meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Warsaw July 8-9 2016 have issued Warsaw Summit Communiqué.

Your Holiness,

In light of the relentless and admirable efforts undertaken by Your Holiness to reconcile people of all faiths and promote a better world for future generations, we wish to express our profound concern regarding potential issues that might be addressed during Your upcoming visit to Armenia, including misleading efforts by Armenian authorities to justify their illegal occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and other adjacent Azerbaijani territories.
