Under the decision, the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia urges to pay more attention to a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, supporting the initiatives of the international organizations to ensure peace and stability in the region, APA reports quoting AzerTAc.
The decision emphasizes the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution should be based on the international law, the principle of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, especially the resolutions #822, 853, 874, 884 adopted by the UN Security Council. These resolutions require immediate withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and safe return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their lands.
