    AZERBAIJANI FM, OSCE SECRETARY GENERAL DISCUSS NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT

    Trend
    Sept 26 2012
    Azerbaijan

    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met with Secretary
    General of the OSCE Lamberto Zannier on the sidelines of the 67th
    Session of the UN General Assembly, the ministry said.

    They discussed Azerbaijan-OSCE cooperation and exchanged views over
    Minsk Group's activity toward resolving the conflict between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 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.
