    Garabagh negotiators hold talks with Azeri leaders


    06-11-2009 04:46:48
    OSCE mediators brokering settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan
    conflict over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh have started another visit to
    the region from Baku. The visit aims to set the stage for the next
    meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders.
    The co-chairs - Yuri Merzlyakov of Russia, Bernard Fassier of France,
    and Robert Bradtke of the United States ` met with President Ilham
    Aliyev on Thursday. The current state of peace talks and prospects for
    settling the long-standing conflict were discussed, according to the
    presidential press-service. The intermediaries also had talks with
    Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
    The co-chairs will continue discussing Garabagh settlement in the
    Armenian capital Yerevan on Friday.
    The latest meeting between Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sarkisian
    was held in Chisinau, Moldova in October 8 and was described by the
    mediators as constructive.
    Armenia and Azerbaijan waged a war over the mountainous region of
    Upper Garabagh in the early 1990s, which claimed some 30,000 lives and
    displaced about a million Azerbaijanis. Armenia has been occupying
    over 20% of Azerbaijan's internationally-recognized territory since
    then. The ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but the OSCE-brokered
    peace talks have been fruitless so far.*
