    U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan has no information about well-known American
    television host's plan to visit NK

    Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov.30
    By Sabina Ahmadova - Trend:

    The U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan has no information about well-known American
    television journalist, former CNN host Larry King's plans to travel to
    occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, the Embassy told Trend.

    "Due to the existing state of hostilities, we cannot offer consular
    services to U.S. citizens in Nagorno-Karabakh," the Embassy said.

    According to the Embassy, the U.S. continues to urge all sides to take
    meaningful steps towards a peaceful resolution of the 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 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 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.
