Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov held in Luxembourg
a meeting with the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group, Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry said.
The meeting, which was also attended by the OSCE Chairman-in-Office's
special representative for Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, focused on
the meeting of presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Chisinau, the
current negotiations process and the upcoming visit of the co-chairmen
to the region.
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.
