Azerbaijani and Armenian communities belonging to Nagorno Karabakh will
discuss a form of further cohabitation, Azerbaijani community of the
region public union board member, MP Rovshan Rzayev told media today.
He said work is underway to arrange a meeting between the Azerbaijani
and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The date of the meeting has not yet been determined," he said. "A
meeting will be devoted to the restoration of the lost relations
and trust between the communities, as well as the form of further
joint discussions."
He stressed that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is not interested
in holding this meeting.
Regarding the venue and format of the meeting, Rzayev said that the
Azerbaijani side is ready to meet at any place and format.
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.
