    U.S. TO CONTINUE ITS EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE SETTLEMENT OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 5

    By Emin Aliyev - Trend:

    The U.S. is encouraged by the resumption of the dialogue between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia, which is critical in achieving progress
    in ending the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the U.S. Deputy Assistant
    Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Eric Rubin said
    on Dec. 5 in Baku.

    "As a Minsk Group Co-chair country we will continue to do everything
    we can to further the chances in achieving settlement, furthermore
    we will try do everything we can in coming year to help settle the
    conflict," Rubin said.

    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.
