Russia to continue active efforts on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict Resolution, FM
MOSKOVA (CIHAN)- Russia will continue its active efforts on resolution
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the country's Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with "Interfax" agency.
"Russia will continue its active efforts for a political resolution of
the conflicts in the CIS space, and above all, the Nagorno-Karabakh
and Transnistria conflicts," Russian Foreign Ministry's website quotes
Lavrov as saying on Friday.
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 the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions regarding the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
