    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict discussed in Brussels

    Azerbaijan, Baku, March 26 / Trend News /


    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.
