    Azerbaijan, Baku, 31 October /TrendNews corr. A.Gasimova/ The
    negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be held in
    3+3 format. The meeting of the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian
    Presidents to take place in Moscow on 2 November will involve the
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group from Russia, France and the United
    States, U.S. co-chair Matthew Bryza said to Trend News from Istanbul
    in a telephone conversation on 31 October.

    The co-chairs will arrive in Moscow at the invitation of Russian
    President Dmitriy Medvedev, who initiated the meeting of the
    Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders.

    The Foreign Ministers of the three countries are meeting in Moscow
    today.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
    1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
    lost the Nagorno-Karabakh, except of Shusha and Khojali, in December
    1991. In 1992-93, Armenian Armed Forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and
    Nagorno-Karabakh's seven surrounding regions. In 1994, Azerbaijan
    and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time the active
    hostilities ended. The countries keep on peace negotiating. OSCE Minsk
    Group co-chaired by USA, Russia, France is engaged in peace settling
    of the conflict.
