    Russian FM expects to meet Azerbaijani, Armenian counterparts in January

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 31 / Trend /


    Russian Foreign Minister expects to hold another meeting on the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement with his Azerbaijani and Armenian
    counterparts in January. Sergei Lavrov stated this in an interview to
    Russia 24 TV channel.

    The previous meeting of the three foreign ministers was held on
    December 9 in Moscow.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces 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 with the
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, comprising Russia, France, and the
    U.S., currently engaged in peace negotiations.

    Armenia has yet to implement the U.N. Security Council's 4 resolutions
    on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.
