Azerbaijan, Baku / Òrend corr K. Ramazanova / Russia will continue
its assistance in settling Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Russian Deputy
Foreign Minister, Sergey Kislak, visiting Azerbaijan stated in Baku
on 26 July.
Kislak noted at a briefing after the talks at Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry that it was interesting for him to hear the viewpoint of
Azerbaijani side on the matter.
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister, Araz Azimov, said that the
conflict represented the key problem for Azerbaijani security. From
the other side, the conflict is multifold and is directly connected
with the situation in the region. "So, discussing regional security
we also discussed the situation in the conflict area," Azimov noted.
The conflict between two South Caucasus countries broke out in 1988 in
face of Armenia's territorial claims to Azerbaijan. Since 1992, 20%
of Azerbaijani territories (Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 nearby regions)
have been under occupation by Armenian Armed Forces. In May, 1994 a
ceasefire was signed between the sides. The talks under the auspices
of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by Russia, France, and the United
States are still fruitless.
