Armenian foreign minister, mediators hold talks on Nagorno-Karabakh
dispute
Armenia's foreign minister met with U.S., French and Russian
mediators in Paris for talks on the disputed enclave of
Nagorno-Karabakh, officials said Wednesday.
The mediators met with Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
Tuesday evening in Paris, and were to meet with Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in London on Wednesday.
The French Foreign Ministry and embassies of the United States and
Russia confirmed the Paris talks took place but would not release
details.
Mediators from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe's so-called Minsk group have been trying for years to reach a
settlement to the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave inside
Azerbaijan populated largely by Armenians.
Armenian and Karabakh forces have controlled the territory since a
shaky cease-fire in 1994 ended a six-year separatist war that killed
some 30,000 people and drove 1 million from their homes.
