    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process has intensified
    recently, and we hope that this will affect the fair solution to the
    problem within international legal norms, Novruz Mammadov, head of
    foreign relations department of the Presidential Administration of
    Azerbaijan, said on June 1.

    "I think that today the regional elite and the international community
    understand and support Azerbaijan's position, even more deeply and more
    fairly understand the need to resolve this problem," said Mammadov.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
    are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
    occupied territories.
