Polish FM: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict parties must refrain from
escalating tension
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec.14 / Trend /
Parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must refrain from actions and
statements which may lead to tension in the conflict zone.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski made this statement at a
joint press conference with Armenian, Bulgarian and Swedish
counterparts in Yerevan on Friday, Armenia Today reported.
He said Poland stands for peaceful resolution of the conflict.
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.
