Azerbaijan welcomes UN resolution

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has welcomed the adoption of the UN
resolution on "UN strategy in the South Caucasus", based on the report
of the Bulgarian member of the Parliament, Mr. Evgeni Kirilov, reports
Trend, citing the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Supporting the EU initiatives on the European Neighbourhood Policy and
the Eastern Partnership, the European Parliament calls for more
intensive participation of the EU in the transformation of the South
Caucasus into a region of peace, stability and prosperity aimed at
enhancing the integration of these countries into European politics.
The conflict situation in the region is unacceptable. The European
Parliamentary MPs expressed concern about the increase in military
spending in recent years and called for the withdrawal of Armenian
forces from all occupied territories of Azerbaijan, the resolution
said.
The EU Strategy in the South Caucasus should be focused on three
spheres: conflict settlement, development of democracy, human rights
and the rule of law, and economic cooperation and social development,
the resolution said.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently hosting the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
