Azerbaijan, Baku, July 9 /Trend, A.Gasimova/
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin discussed the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with the Vice President of the Carnegie
Endowment James Collins in Moscow, the Foreign Ministry reported.
Karasin received members of the committee and experts and
Euro-Atlantic security initiatives, led by former U.S. Ambassador to
Russia Collins.
During the meeting the sides exchanged views on issues of unresolved
conflicts over Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria, as well as on the
overall situation in the South Caucasus.
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.
