    NATO: NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT DESERVES MUCH MORE INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION THAN IT GETS

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct.1 / Trend, S.Ahmadova/

    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict deserves much more
    international attention than it gets. Special Representative of
    NATO's Secretary General for South Caucasus and Central Asia, James
    Appathurai made this statement commenting on the recent report
    "Armenia and Azerbaijan: A Season of Risks" of the International
    Crisis Group on his Facebook page.

    "This issue deserves much more international attention than it gets,
    and more support to find a resolution," he said.

    According to Appathurai, the effects if this conflict "unfreezes"
    would be felt far beyond the region.

    It should be noted that the International Crisis Group has recently
    published a report regarding the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.The report says that confrontation, low-intensity but
    volatile, between Armenia and Azerbaijan has entered a period of
    heightened sensitivity.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

    Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent 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 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.
