    By Emil Ismayilov, Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

    Turkey and France have discussed the issue of settlement of the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, French President
    Francois Hollande said.

    He made the remarks during a joint briefing with Turkish President
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Paris on Oct.31, TRT Haber TV channel reported.

    The sides also discussed the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group in
    the settlement of the conflict.

    The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan began in 1988 when Armenia
    made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing
    war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    The two countries 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 UN Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
