    Leaders Of Azerbaijan, Armenia To Hold Karabakh Talks

    Agence France Presse
    Sept 2 2004

    NAKHCHEVAN, Azerbaijan, Sept 2 (AFP) - Azerbaijan's President Ilham
    Aliyev said Thursday he would hold talks later this month with his
    Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharian on the future of the disputed
    enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Aliyev said the meeting with Kocharian would take place on the
    sidelines of a summit of former Soviet states which opens in
    Kazakhstan's capital, Astana, on September 15.

    Under international law, Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan but
    since a war in the early 1990s the mountainous territory has been
    under de facto Armenian control.

    More than a decade of sporadic peace talks has failed to settle the
    row and Azerbaijan has threatened to go to war again to drive out
    Armenian forces.

    "We have not yet been able to reach an agreement, but the negotiations
    are continuing, they are dealing with specific issues, and I want
    to hope that they will produce results," Aliyev told reporters on a
    visit to the province of Nakhchevan in western Azerbaijan.
