in an attempt to resolve their dispute over the occupied Nagorno
Kabarakh territories problem.
The three heads of state planned to have dinner together on Sunday

Armenian occupation for more than a decade.
The Azeri and Armenian presidents arrived in Bucharest ahead of the
Black Sea Forum for Dialogue and Partnership Summit, to be held in
Bucharest from June 4-6.
Basescu said he hoped the forum would create conditions for 'an open
dialogue between the participants.'
The Romanian president and his Azeri counterpart expressed hopes
that their talks would end in a resolution of the conflict in
Nagorno-Kabarakh soon, the presidential office in Bucharest said in
a statement.
Nagorno Kabarakh is located in south-west Azerbaijan. Armenians
attacked the Azeri security forces in 1992 and then the region was
occupied by the Armenian forces. More than 1 million Azeris became
refugees. No Azeri was survived in Armenia since then. The EU and
the OSCE named Armenia 'occupier' in the region.
