Armenia has occupied the region since 1991, declaring the Nagorno Karabakh Republic a de facto autonomous state.Mr. Hajiyev stated Armenia's unlawful regime is disarmed and out of Azerbaijan.This eliminates hurdles to an Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal.We believe this is a historic opportunity to end antagonism and hostility between two countries and construct durable peace based on Azerbaijan's five principles for Armenia.“Then I think that Azerbaijan has also established a model of resolution of one of the most prolonged conflicts on the wider map of Eurasia.”The Karabakh conflict has been one of the OSCE's issues since its founding, although it has not been resolved.Because its aim was to maintain Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijan, the Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship Institute failed.We've ended the m...

Burbank Airport drops lawsuit against California High-Speed Rail

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:50:40 GMT

The California High-Speed Rail Authority and the agency that represents the Hollywood Burbank Airport have reached an agreement that dismisses a lawsuit filed against the high-speed rail project on behalf of the airport authority.The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority filed the lawsuit last year, arguing that the project would affect daily operations at the Burbank airport. As part of the settlement, the two sides have agreed to a new framework that creates a "collaborative process" between the two transportation agencies.The Hollywood Burbank Airport is adjacent to the proposed site of an underground high-speed rail train station.

Eyewitnesses recounted watching the slaying unfold the afternoon of Sept. 8, 2022 i...
