By Sabina Ahmadova - Trend:
Protraction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
inadmissible, member of the German Bundestag (parliament), the head of
the Germany-South Caucasus parliamentary group, Karin Shtrents told
Trend.
She stressed that Germany supports the peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in accordance with the international law.
Shtrents added that another three members of the Bundestag will visit
Azerbaijan in coming days to discuss the prospects for cooperation, as
well as exchange views on the issues of mutual interest.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result
of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent
of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts.
The two countries 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.
