Within the context of a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
Ukraine as the presiding country of the OSCE constantly signals the
necessity to finalise basic principles for settlement of the conflict,
to refrain from unilateral steps and to stabilise the situation at
the border, Ukraine's Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Kuchta said in his
interview to NEWS.am.
"In addition, our country supports the efforts of the co-chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group to promote a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict," he said.
According to him, the co-chairs have already visited Kiev twice within
six months and substantial discussions were held about the process
of a settlement during these visits.
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.
