    OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will meet with Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister
    Elmar Mammadyaorv in Venice, June 5, Elmar Mammadyarov was quoted as
    saying by the Azerbaijani media.

    Panorama.am recalls that the officials conducting mediation mission
    on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict met with the Armenian FM Edward
    Nalbandian May 12 in Brussels. The Co-Chairs spread a statement
    following the meeting voicing their intention to meet with Azerbaijan's
    FM Elmar Mammadyarov to discuss the current stage of negotiations.

    A Conference on the 60th jubilee of Venice Commission is due in Venice
    June 5. Elmar Mammadyarov is expected to meet with the Co-Chairs in
    the frames of the conference.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh (armed) conflict broke out back in 1991, when,
    subsequent to the demand for self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    people, Azerbaijani authorities attempted to resolve the issue
    through ethnic cleansings, carried out by Soviet security forces
    (KGB special units) under the pretext of the implementation of the
    passport regime and by launching of large-scale military operations,
    which left thousands dead and caused considerable material damage. A
    cease-fire agreement was established in 1994. Negotiations on the
    settlement of the conflict are being conducted under the mediation
    of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen (Russia, USA, France) and on the
    basis of their Madrid proposals, presented in November, 2007.

    Azerbaijan has not yet implemented the 4 resolutions of the UN
    Security Council adopted in 1993, by continuing to provoke arms race
    in the region and openly violating on of the basic principles of the
    international law non-use of force or threat of force.
