OSCE must activate mechanism of investigation of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict incidents, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Lithuanian Foreign
Minister Audronius Ažubalis said at the organization's Ministerial
Council's meeting in Vilnius, OSCE website reported.
"OSCE must activate mechanism of investigation of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict incidents with the help of law attention what was proposed
on the presidents' Sochi summit," he said during his opening statement
at the meeting.

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. -

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
