Mammadyarov discussed the process of negotiations on Karabakh conflict
settlement in Paris.
As Mammadyarov stated, Azeri side accepts the document (but for some
exclusions), which was based on revised Madrid principles. Co-chairs
said the issue will be further discussed with Armenian side, Azerbaijan
Foreign Ministry press service reported.
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in
1988, as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the
final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from
1991 (when the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed) to 1994
(when a ceasefire was sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan). Most
of Nagorno Karabakh and a security zone consisting of 7 regions is
now under control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are
holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
