==The resolution==
==Background==
In the late 1980s, armed conflict broke out between [[Armenia]] and [[Azerbaijan]], resulting in the displacement of nearly one million Azerbaijanis as refugees and internally displaced persons, as well as the occupation of [[Nagorno-Karabakh]] and its surrounding seven districts by Armenian armed forces.

Pursuant to the [[Charter of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation]], the resolution stated the concern of the member states over "aggression by the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan which has resulted in the occupation of about 20 percent of the territories of Azerbaijan", "the actions perpetrated against civilian [[Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh|Azerbaijani population in the occupied Azerbaijani territories]] as crimes against humanity", "any looting and destruction of the archeological, cultural and religious monuments in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" (including Islamic monuments), "illegal transfer of settlers of the Armenian nationality to those territories", expressed deep distress over "the plight of [[Refugees and internally displaced persons in Azerbaijan|more than one million Azerbaijani displaced persons and refugees resulting from the Armenian aggression]] and over magnitude and severity of these humanitarian problems". It reaffirmed the [[OIC Resolution 21/10-P (IS)]] adopted by the Tenth Session of the OIC Summit held in [[Putrajaya]] on October 16–17, 2003) calling Armenia to comply with [[List of United Nations Security Council resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict|UN Security Council Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884]] adopted on April 30, July 29, October 14 and November 12, 1993.
OIC member states reaffirmed their commitment to respect of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan calling for further diplomatic and peaceful efforts of Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, reiterating destructive influence of the policy of Armenia on the [[OSCE Minsk Group|OSCE peace process]].<ref name=OIC>{{cite web |url=http://www.oic-oci.org/is11/english/res/11-SUM-POL-RES-FINAL.pdf |title=Organization of Islamic Conference.

Organisation of the Islamic Conference Resolution 10/11, titled "The aggression of the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan", is an Organisation of the Islamic Conference (now Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) Resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict adopted by its member states on March 13–14, 2008 during the OIC summit in Dakar, Senegal.[1] The resolution, titled "Aggression by the Republic of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan," aims to express concern over Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan and to provide comprehensive support for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Dakar conference is considered a "successful step" towards supporting Azerbaijan's just cause. [2] It was during this session that the new Charter of the Islamic Cooperation Organization was adopted, and in the section on the purposes and objectives of this international organization, it was stipulated that the member states support the right of states under occupation to restore their territorial integrity.[3]

The document is one of several resolutions by OIC on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Background

In the late 1980s, armed conflict broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan, resulting in the displacement of nearly one million Azerbaijanis as refugees and internally displaced persons, as well as the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and its surrounding seven districts by Armenian armed forces. Finally, with the mediation of Russia, a ceasefire was achieved on the front lines in May 1994.[4]

Despite the ceasefire agreement, the ceasefire regime was frequently violated in the subsequent years. The first significant clash between the parties occurred on March 4, 2008. According to a statement by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, a reconnaissance-sabotage group of Armenians attempted to seize the frontline positions of the Azerbaijani army near the occupied village of Chilaburt in the Tartar region.[5] As a result of the armed confrontation, four Azerbaijani servicemen were martyred. On the other side, it was reported that 12 soldiers were killed and 15 were injured. Subsequently, tension escalated again along the contact line in the direction of the Aghdam region on March 8-9. Eldar Sabiroglu, the head of the press service of the Ministry of Defense, reported that as a result of the Armenian military units opening fire on Azerbaijani villages, two Azerbaijani civilians were killed and two others were injured. [6] Additionally, one Armenian soldier was killed in response fire. Ali Hasanov, a spokesperson for the Administration of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, referred to the situation on the front lines as Armenian provocations and linked it to the protests following the presidential elections held in Armenia in 2008.[6] The protests, which were forcibly dispersed by the police, were organized by Levon Ter-Petrosyan, a presidential candidate and former president of the Republic of Armenia, and his supporters.[7] According to Hasanov, "the Armenian leadership resort to such provocations to divert the attention of Armenians and the international community from the internal situation in the country."[6] The Azerbaijani media noted that President Robert Kocharyan preferred to create artificial tension along the contact line to divert attention from internal processes and human rights violations.[8][9]
