Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group will visit the region in late
November, French Ambassador to Azerbaijan Pascal Meunier told
journalists on Monday.
He said as a co-chair country, France seeks peaceful resolution of
the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"France seeks stability in the region and wants to achieve it,"
Meunier said.
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.
