The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be the main topic of the
negotiations during OSCE chairman, Swiss Foreign Minister Didier
Burkhalter's visit to Azerbaijan.
Swiss ambassador to Azerbaijan Pascal Obisher spoke about this while
talking to Trend Agency on May 2.
Burkhalter will pay an official visit to Azerbaijan on June 3.
"During his visit Burkhalter will meet with the leadership of
Azerbaijan, prime minister, foreign minister and other officials of
the country," Obisher added.
He said the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the prospects
of developing the bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and
Switzerland, the events in the region and Ukraine will be discussed
during the visit.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s.
The UN Security Council's four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal have
not been enforced to this day.
Peace talks, mediated by Russia, France and the US and the OSCE Minsk
Group are underway on the basis of a peaceful outline -called Madrid
Principle -proposed by the Minsk Group co-chairs. The negotiations
have been largely fruitless so far.
