Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers will coordinate meeting
on resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Paris together with
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen.
The next talks on resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between
Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers Elmar Mamadyarov and Edward
Nalbandyan will be held in Paris on June 26, Azerbaijani President's
Special Envoy and Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told reporters.
"In Paris we will consult and coordinate our approach to resolution
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and will also prepare next meeting
between Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Serzh
Sargsyan. We hope the meeting will be held soon," OSCE Minsk Group
U.S. Co-Chairman Matthew Bryza told Trend News.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
holding the peace negotiations.
The previous meeting between the two foreign ministers was held as a
part of the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham
Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan in St. Petersburg on June 4.
This was fifth meeting on conflict resolution between the two
leaders. The previous meeting was held in Prague on June 7. The first
meeting was held in St. Petersburg in June 2008 and second meeting
in Moscow in late November 2008 and third was held in Zurich on
Jan. 28, 2009.
