    June 01--Details added after the second paragraph (the first version
    was posted at 12:11)The UN Secretary General sees a need for rapid
    resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    "Rapid and peaceful resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is necessary, and results are expected
    in this direction," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said at a
    meeting with the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov,
    the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported.

    Mammadyarov, during the meeting with Ban Ki-moon within his working
    visit to the United States, informed him about the negotiation process
    to resolve the Armenian -Azerbaijani Nagorno- Karabakh conflict.

    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 seven 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 and the
    surrounding regions.

    He expressed satisfaction with the current level of cooperation
    between Azerbaijan and the organization .

    Mammayarov informed Ban Ki-moon about advantages of Azerbaijan,
    which put forward his candidacy to the elections of non-permanent
    members of the UN Security Council for 2012-2013 .
