Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 31 / Trend /
Russian Foreign Minister expects to hold another meeting on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement with his Azerbaijani and Armenian
counterparts in January. Sergei Lavrov stated this in an interview to
Russia 24 TV channel.
The previous meeting of the three foreign ministers was held on
December 9 in Moscow.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994 with the
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, comprising Russia, France, and the
U.S., currently engaged in peace negotiations.
Armenia has yet to implement the U.N. Security Council's 4 resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.
