    Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 5
    By Viktoriya Zhavoronkova - Trend:

    Along with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen, Russia continues
    promoting rapprochement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sides'
    positions on the basis of principles proposed by the presidents of
    the three co-chairing countries, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
    Lavrov said at the Ministerial Council meeting in Kyiv on Thursday.

    "Russia is considering an earlier proposed initiative on establishing
    a conflict prevention mechanism within the OSCE as being important.

    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.
