    Azerbaijan, Baku, 26 May / corr. TrendNews S. Agayeva/ The conditions
    have been created to continue the peace talks on settlement of the
    Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict, Khazar Ibrahim, the spokesperson of
    the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, said to media while commenting
    on the upcoming meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia
    in St Petersburg on 6 June.

    " Azerbaijan expects a constructive position from the new Armenian
    government on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict,"
    Ibrahim said.

    According to Ibrahim, Armenia should demonstrate a will, understand
    realities, and should take steps for the solution of the conflict. "The
    new conditions to continue the peace talks can contribute to the
    solution of the conflict," said Ibrahim.

    The Resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh passed by the UN General Assembly
    has created favorable conditions to continue talks between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia, Ibrahim stated.

    The UN General Assembly supported Resolution on Situation in the
    Occupied Territory of Azerbaijan introduced by Azerbaijan. The
    Resolution demanded the immediate, full and unconditional withdrawal
    of all the Armenian armed forces from all the occupied territory of the
    Republic of Azerbaijan. The Resolution confirms 'the indefeasible right
    of the population driven out the occupied territory of Azerbaijan,
    to return to their homeland and demands to create appropriate
    conditions for their return including comprehensive rehabilitation
    of the territory damaged by the conflict'.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
    in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
    1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
    1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
    time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
    negotiations.
