    BAKU (Azerbaijan), 28 Jumada 2/May 31 (IINA)-The Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict will be a priority issue on the Organization of the Islamic
    Conference's (OIC) agenda during the meeting of OIC foreign ministers,
    OIC official representative Abdul Rauf Bin Rajab told Trend.

    "One of the important topics of discussion will be "Armenian aggression
    against Azerbaijan," he said.

    Kazakhstan, as the OIC chairing-nation, will hold the 38th Session
    of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers-2011, in Astana on June 28-30.

    The OIC is the largest Muslim international intergovernmental
    organization consisting of 57 Muslim states.

    Four more countries, including Russia and the Turkish Republic of
    Northern Cyprus have an observer status in OIC.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have 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. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
    are currently holding the 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.
