    TREND Information
    Nov 30 2007
    Azerbaijan

    Spain, Madrid / Trend corr. A.Maharramli / Yerevan has expressed
    its alarm at the statement made by Azerbaijan on the possibility of
    military operations in tackling the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
    over Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
    stated during the meeting of OSCE Council of Ministers in Madrid on
    29 November.

    "The conflict can only be settled through a compromise," Oskanian
    added. Azerbaijan exceeds the armament limit, which was envisaged in
    the DOVSE, Oskanian said.

    The Armenian Foreign Minister also touched upon a set of proposals
    on the regulations of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which was
    submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to the Foreign Ministers
    of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

    During the meeting of the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
    Mammadyarov and the Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian, the
    OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Deputy Assistant Secretary of United
    State Matthew Bryza, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and
    the United States State Secretary Assistant on International Issues
    Nicolas Bern submitted the written proposals on the regulation of
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to Azerbaijan and Armenia. The document
    includes 10 proposals, which have been discussed by both countries
    during the last three years.

    Oskanian said that the document allows the preliminary regulation of
    the conflict to be reached.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
    in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
    1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
    1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
    time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
    negotiations.
