Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Grushko, Director of the
Policy Unit of the General Council Secretariat of EU Helga Schmid and
director-general at the European Commission's external relations
department Joao Almeida discussed the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Brussels March 25, the Russian Foreign
Ministry reported.
Also during the meeting they discussed a wide range of issues: the
partnership for modernization, the course of negotiations on a new
basic agreement of the EU and Russia, the prospects for introducing
visa-free regime between the EU and Russia, as well as other actual
issues of cooperation between Russia and the EU.
The sides exchanged opinions on actual international issues, including
the situation in the BWM, the process of the Geneva discussions, the
situation in Sudan and around it and so on. Special attention was paid
to issues of strengthening security and stability in the area from
Vancouver to Vladivostok.
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.
