OIC expresses concern at Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan

Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is following with serious concern the developments in Nagorno-Karabakh region and the attacks carried out recently by the Armenian forces on the borders of the occupied Azeri territories, said OIC in a statement issued Sunday.
The pan Islamic body expressed apprehension over Armenia’s insistence to resume fighting, failure to respect the truce and persistence in its aggressive policies.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani voiced deep concern over this escalation resulting from the continued occupation of Azeri territories by Armenia. He recalled the OIC position for immediate, unconditional and complete withdrawal of Armenian forces from Nagorno-Karabakh region and other occupied Azeri territories, and underlined the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Madani also reiterated the need to intensify international efforts, especially by Minsk Group, to reach an urgent political settlement for the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the basis of the territorial integrity and the inviolability of the internationally recognized borders of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and in conformity with the principles of international law, UN Security Council resolutions as well as the relevant  documents and decisions of the  Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE).
