The Press Service of the Defence Ministry of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic warns once again that any actions of the Azerbaijani party that threaten the security of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and can lead to the destabilization of the situation in the Azerbaijani Karabakh conflict zone will be resolutely suppressed.

c) The Destruction and Desecration of Islamic Historical and Cultural Relics and Shrines in the Occupied Azerbaijani Territories Resulting from the Aggression of the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan

Strongly condemns the barbaric acts committed by the Armenian aggressor in the Republic of Azerbaijan aiming at the total annihilation of the Islamic heritage in the occupied Azerbaijani territories

Deploring the Armania backed aggressive separatism instigated in the Nagorno Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan, followed by aggression and occupation by Armenia of about 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories and resulted in violent displacement of almost one million Azerbaijani people from their homes, which, as such, resembles the terrible concept of ethnic cleansing

Sustainable peace cannot be achieved without normalization of life and ensuring peaceful coexistence and cooperation of the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of the Nagorno Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

We express our strong dissatisfaction with the Azerbaijani decision.

The Press Service of the Defence Ministry of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic appeals to the Azerbaijani side to strictly follow the ceasefire regime and not to threaten the peace and security in the region.

Occupation of part of Azerbaijani territory by Armenia in 1993 had led the United Nations Security Council to address the problem and pass four historic resolutions reaffirming respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The Press Service of the Defence Ministry of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic draws attention to the fact that the Azerbaijani party continues to take steps to destabilize the situation on the demarcation line, attempting diversionary actions in the rear of the armed forces of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and advancing its positions to the front lines of the Defence Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

On 7 March 2005, at 11 a.m., an Azerbaijani intelligence diversionary group attempted to penetrate the rear of the Defence Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the north east section of the contact line between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, near the settlement of Seysulan in the Martakert region of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

In the course of aggression the Armenian nationalists committed terrible crimes of genocide against the Azerbaijani population.

From 1905 to 1907 and from 1918 to 1920, in Iravan, Daralayaz and Zangazur (nowadays in the territory of the modern Republic of Armenia), Tiflis, Nakhchivan, Baku, Ganja, Karabakh, Shamakhy, Guba, Mughan, Lenkaran and other places of Azerbaijan, the civilian Azerbaijani people were subjected to genocide.

Any Azerbaijani exploitation of that fact within international organizations will therefore result in Armenia's disengagement from the negotiation process.

Expressing the sovereign will of the Azerbaijani people, the Milli Mejlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan declares once again that the Republic of Azerbaijan will never agree to the seizure of sovereignty in a part of its territory or the outrageous occupation and separation of its primordial lands, and will resort to all possible means in order to achieve the restoration of its territorial integrity.

According to the villagers, the settlement consisted entirely of refugees from Chailu in Mardakert Agdere District, now under Azerbaijani control.

The murderers enjoyed total support of the Azerbaijani authorities and full freedom in committing these inhuman acts against the Armenian population.

Reiterating United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolutions Nos. 822, 853, 874 and 884 on the Armenian forces total withdrawal from all the occupied Azerbaijani territories, including the Lachin and Shousha areas, immediately and without conditions and strongly urging Armenia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan

As a result of this conflict, generations of young Azerbaijani women and men have grown up in refugee and internally displaced persons camps.

Security Council resolutions 822 (1993), 853 (1993), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993) regarding the occupation of the Azerbaijani territories unequivocally reaffirmed the sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the borders of the Republic of Azerbaijan and demanded the complete, immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

While the population of Nagorno Karabagh, after 70 years of unlawful subjugation to Azerbaijani rule, raised its voice in peaceful demonstrations for the legally and universally recognized right to self determination, thus choosing the democratic, constitutional and peaceful path to the exercise of its right, the response of the Azerbaijani authorities was pogroms and killings of Armenians.

However, their old homes, in areas which were formerly Armenian populated, are today under Azerbaijani control, and their homes have been appropriated by Azerbaijanis.

The Azerbaijani leadership, then and now, never expressed remorse over the ethnic cleansing and massacres of the Armenians of Azerbaijan or the Armenians of Karabagh.

In order to eliminate the damage inflicted by the aggression of Armenia against our country and develop its independent State, the Azerbaijani people needs peace.

The Azerbaijani proposal to re open the former transport corridors, made at the current session by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, should not be overlooked.

The servicemen in the Karabakh forces who were on duty noted the actions of the Azerbaijani intelligence diversionary group and took the necessary steps to neutralize it.

Given energy security concerns, any Azerbaijani conflict would also seriously affect Europe. Iran, too would be affected, since it is a frontline state with interests in the region.

We, along with many thousands of Azerbaijani refugees, have suffered similar tragedy ourselves, and still live in miserable and severe conditions in tents, coaches, underground caves and vaults.

These pre designed massive and merciless acts of massacre were perpetrated with the intention of totally annihilating the people living in that territory due to their Azerbaijani origins.

Deeply distressed over the plight of more than one million Azerbaijani displaced persons and refugees resulting from the Armenian aggression and magnitude and severity of this humanitarian problems

Stressing that pieces of Azerbaijani culture, archaeology and ethnography remained in the territories occupied by Armenia are part and parcel of this heritage, and hence must be protected

Exaltation of impunity continues today when, after the vicious act in Budapest, where an Armenian officer was brutally murdered in his sleep through axing by a young Azerbaijani officer at a NATO Partnership for Peace training programme, so called committees for the support of the Azerbaijani military officer have been created in Azerbaijan and the perpetrator of a cowardly act is, right before our eyes, being transformed into a hero.

From 1988 to 1990, the deliberate manipulation of the Azerbaijani public led to the massacres of Armenians in three of the largest cities of Azerbaijan, Sumgait, Kirovabad (Ganja) and Baku.

This could not but raise concerns over the increase of aggressiveness in Azerbaijani society as a result of such encouragements, distortions and exaggerations, in short, effective hate propaganda by the top leadership.

As a direct consequence of these acts, over 2,000 Azerbaijani citizens have been killed and tens of thousands of people injured. Azerbaijan and its people have suffered huge material and moral damage.

On the night of 25 and 26 February 1992, the military forces of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian terrorist groups in Nagorno Karabakh, with the support of the 366th motorized regiment of the former Soviet army, the officers of which were mainly composed of Armenian nationals, stormed the Azerbaijani populated town of Khojaly and committed one of the most horrible acts of genocide in the history of mankind.

Appeals to the Member States and Islamic institutions to make available to the Government of Azerbaijan the much needed economic and humanitarian assistance with a view to alleviating the suffering of the Azerbaijani people.

The figures in the Secretary General's report in document A 60 305 no longer reflected the true situation, because under a new law Azerbaijan could give citizenship to 250,000 Azerbaijani refugees expelled from Armenia.
