Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) that Azerbaijan has set a goal and takes every step to develop ECO.
The prerogatives of Azerbaijan will be in such areas as the economy, trade and transportation projects.
“The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains the main problem for the region. We have no concrete results on the resolution of the conflict,” he said and expressed his gratification to all the ECO members for their support.
Recall that The Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) is a regional intergovernmental economic body established in 1985.
The conflict started in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan and occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992. They signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia, France and the U.S. – are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
