    Russia, Moscow, 1 August /Trend News corr. R.Agayev/ Azerbaijani and
    Armenian Foreign Ministers discussed at Russian Foreign Ministry the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and Armenia's Edward
    Nalbandyan met with the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of
    the Russian Federation Andrey Denisov in Moscow on 1 August.

    They discussed the state and prospects of negotiations on
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Russian Foreign Ministry
    reported.

    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was also discussed today at the meeting
    between Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers.

    The work over settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, suggested
    by both countries' presidents in St. Petersburg in June, will be
    the basis for negotiations between Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign
    Ministers in Moscow.

    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.
