That this House calls on the Government to urge the OSCE Minsk group to bring talks over the occupation of Nagorno Karabakh and seven surrounding regions by Armenian troops to a speedy conclusion based on the Madrid Principles; maintains that this is essential in order that almost one million Azerbaijani refugees and internally displaced people can return to their homes; notes that UN Security Council resolutions numbers 822, 853, 874 and 884 all call for the withdrawal of Armenian troops; also notes that on 20 May 2010 the European Parliament passed a resolution demanding the withdrawal of Armenian troops; and further notes that on 21 May 2010 EU High Representative Baroness Catherine Ashton labelled the June 2010 election in the occupied territories asunconstitutional and illegal.
