The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process has intensified
recently, and we hope that this will affect the fair solution to the
problem within international legal norms, Novruz Mammadov, head of
foreign relations department of the Presidential Administration of
Azerbaijan, said on June 1.
"I think that today the regional elite and the international community
understand and support Azerbaijan's position, even more deeply and more
fairly understand the need to resolve this problem," said Mammadov.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
