    The meeting of the Presidents in Saint-Petersburg will be the first
    one this year. Earlier the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev
    and Armenia, Robert Kocharyan held negotiations in Belarus, Romania
    and France, however no results have yet been obtained.

    The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus appeared in
    1988 due to the territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan.

    Armenia has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the
    Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven Districts of the country surrounding
    it. Since 1992 to present time, these territories have been under the
    occupation of the Armenian Forces. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia
    signed a cease-fire agreement, at which time the active hostilities
    ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France and USA)
    hold peaceful negotiations.
