    29 November 2011, 03:11 (GMT+04:00) Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
    held a meeting with the head of the Caucasus Muslims, the spiritual
    leader of Azerbaijan Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade, who was
    in Yerevan at the meeting of the Presidium of the Interreligious
    Council of the Commonwealth of Independent States and Catholicos of
    all Armenians Garegin II.

    As press service of RA president told Armenpress, Armenian president
    praised the role of inter-religious harmony in the world, highlighted
    the development of tolerance in the region and expressed his conviction
    that religious leaders can play an important role in this matter. Serzh
    Sargsyan hailed on the peaceful resolution of conflicts in the
    region through dialogue and efforts between Allahshukur Pashazade
    and Garegin II.

    Caucasus Muslims Head Pashazade noted that religious leaders encouraged
    every step towards peace. He expressed the hope that thanks to the
    efforts of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will be possible
    to reach a solution, so that the spiritual leaders of both countries
    are ready to assist. He stressed that not once in his discussions on
    this subject with the President of Azerbaijan noted that the war can
    not be a solution to the problem.

    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.
