Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will hold trilateral meeting with
Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents during the visit to Moldova,
press-secretary of the Russian President Natalya Timakova told media.
No break is expected to take place at this meeting. It is the next
action to solve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, a source in the presidential
administration told RIA Novosti.
The next meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev
and Serzh Sarkisian will be held in Kishinev on October 8 within the
summit of CIS countries' heads.
The last meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev
and Serzh Sarkisian was the sixth one for the last year. It was held
in Moscow on July 17-18.
The previous talks between the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and
the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, took place in St. Petersburg
on June 4.
This top-level meeting became the fifth one on conflict resolution
between the two leaders. The previous meeting was held in Prague on
May 7. The first meeting was held in St. Petersburg in June 2008,
the second meeting in Moscow in late November 2008 and the third was
held in Zurich on Jan. 28, 2009.
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 7
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 the peace negotiations.
