Azerbaijan, Baku, July 1 / Trend /
Ukraine will spare no effort to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
in 2013 when Ukraine will chair the OSCE, Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych said at a news conference with his Armenian counterpart,
RBC-Ukraine reported.
"We are not members of the OSCE Minsk Group, but we have good
partnership, friendly relations, trade and economic relations with
Azerbaijan and Armenia," he said. "It is in our interest and in the
interests of the Ukrainian people for this conflict to be resolved
peacefully."
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that there could be a
breakthrough in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the Kazan
meeting but it did not take place.
"I think that at least, one chance was missed," the Armenian President
said. "This does not mean the end of the negotiation process. It does
not mean that we will not continue our negotiations. This means that
we have lost this period of time, at least until a new meeting."
Sargsyan also informed that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said
over phone on June 30 that he had sent his vision of the situation in
a written form.
The Presidents Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, Dmitry Medvedev of Russia,
and Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia discussed the basic principles of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement on Friday in Kazan on June 24.
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.
