    ARMENIAN, RUSSIAN PRESIDENTS DISCUSS KARABAKH PEACE PROCESS IN SOCHI

    ARKA
    Sep 3, 2008

    YEREVAN, September 3. /ARKA/. Armenian and Russian presidents Serzh
    Sargsyan and Dmitry Medvedev discussed the Karabakh peace process in
    Sochi, the Press Service of Armenian President reported.

    Russian President confirmed that the conflict should be solved through
    peaceful negotiations and supported the peace process within the OSCE
    Minsk Group format, the press service reported.

    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict started in 1988 when Nagorno-Karabakh
    with prevailingly Armenian population declared its withdrawal from
    Azerbaijan.

    On December 10 1991, a referendum was held in Nagorno-Karabakh in the
    presence of international observers where 99.89% of the population
    voted for full independence from Azerbaijan.

    In response, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale war against
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Active operations were ceased on May 12 1994 by signing a cease-fire
    agreement that has been maintained since then.

    Since 1992 negotiations have been held on peaceful settlement of the
    conflict under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by
    the USA, Russia and France.
