    Azerbaijan, Armenia Hold Talks On Nagorno-Karabakh

    Radio Free Europe, Czech Republic
    Sept 16 2004

    15 September 2004 -- The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan held talks
    today on the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Armenia's President Robert Kocharian and Azerbaijan's President Ilham
    Aliyev held two-way talks before joining Russian President Vladimir
    Putin to discuss the ethnic Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan over which
    the two neighboring states fought a five-year war in the early 1990s.


    The talks were held on the sidelines of a meeting of leaders of
    Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) member countries in the
    Kazakh capital Astana.

    The OSCE Minsk Group, which is co-chaired by Russia, France, and the
    United States, has been mediating between Armenia and Azerbaijan in
    the past decade.

    Some 35,000 people were killed and about 1 million displaced by the
    conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which erupted during the breakup of
    the Soviet Union.
