suffering of Azerbaijani people, including those who perished during
the 1992 Khojaly genocide. Furthermore, the Chamber of Deputies requested Federal government to instruct Mexico's
representative at the United Nations to facilitate activities urging the
government of Armenia to comply with resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884

appeals to the Republic of Armenia to cease all hostilities against
Azerbaijani civilians, to immediately withdraw its forces from the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan and to refrain from any hostile acts
that undermine regional security.
