The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to a peaceful
solution to the conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The two
leaders, Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian and Azerbaijan President
Ilham Aliyev were invited by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to
discuss the issue in Moscow.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Nagorno-Karabakh seceded from
Azerbaijan with support from Armenia. Around 35,000 people lost their
lives in the ensuing conflict.
Nagorno-Karabakh, where mainly ethnic Armenians live, now operates
independently, with support from Armenia. Officially Armenia and
Azerbaijan were still in a state of war, because no peace treaty had
been signed.
