The OSCE will continue its work to resolve protracted conflicts,
including Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office,
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Ažubalis, today told 300
Parliamentarians from 53 OSCE participating States and four partner
countries gathered in Belgrade for the Annual Session of the OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly, the official statement reads.
"The OSCE will continue its efforts, including confidence-building
measures to reduce tensions in and around Nagorno-Karabakh and
contribute to positive results," he 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.
