U.S Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza stressed
progress in interrelations between the President of Azerbaijan and the
President of Armenia. "I think there is progress after meetings held
between President Ilham Aliyev and Serj Sarkisyan in November 2008 and
January," he said.
"It is feeling after these talks and meetings," Bryza said. "There are
certain disputes on new appeals. The sides failed to reach common
opinion but there is progress," U.S diplomat said.
Co-chairmen work and reach principal agreement on new meeting of
Aliyev with Sarkisyan, Bryza said. 'The meeting on Eastern Europe will
be held in Prague on May 7," he said, stressing that these meetings
have great practical importance.
The conflict between two South Caucasian countries occurred in 1988
because of Armenia's territorial claims towards Azerbaijan. Nagorno
Karabakh and seven adjacent regions - 20 percent of Azerbaijani
territory were occupied by Armenia's military troops.
The sides reached regime of cease fire in May 1994. Up to now
unsuccessful peace talks are being held under aegis of the OSCE Minsk
Group and co-chairmanship of Russia, France and the USA.
