    SWITZERLAND CONSIDERS DIALOGUE MAJOR TOOL TO PREVENT CONFLICTS: AMBASSADOR

    Switzerland always adhered to the need to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict peacefully, Swiss Ambassador to Azerbaijan Alain Guidetti
    told media Nov. 3.

    "Switzerland considers the establishment of a dialogue as one of the
    major tools for preventing conflicts," Guidetti said.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
    lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in
    December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha,
    Khojali and seven districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan
    and Armenia signed a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE
    Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -- are currently holding
    peace negotiations.
