Brazil stands for resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict based on international norms and principles, as well as
resolutions and decisions taken by international organizations.
Brazilian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Paulo Antonio Pereira Pinto made
this statement at a meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry 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 and the
surrounding regions.
The meeting was held after the completion of Pereira's diplomatic
mission in Azerbaijan.
