    If the OSCE Minsk Group continues to act in a successful direction for
    solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, then Turkey also may consider
    participation in this negotiation process, Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan said in a joint press conference with Russian President
    Dmitry Medvedev in Ankara, Russia 24 television channel reported.

    "Our task now is to push Armenia and Azerbaijan to reach a certain
    point, which can be considered as the beginning of a peaceful
    settlement of the conflict. We, from our part, will do our best to
    contribute to continuation of this process," Erdogan said.

    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.
