    Peaceful solution for Nagorno Karabakh

    The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to a peaceful
    solution to the conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The two
    leaders, Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian and Azerbaijan President
    Ilham Aliyev were invited by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to
    discuss the issue in Moscow.

    After the fall of the Soviet Union, Nagorno-Karabakh seceded from
    Azerbaijan with support from Armenia. Around 35,000 people lost their
    lives in the ensuing conflict.

    Nagorno-Karabakh, where mainly ethnic Armenians live, now operates
    independently, with support from Armenia. Officially Armenia and
    Azerbaijan were still in a state of war, because no peace treaty had
    been signed.
