In the course of a telephone conversation today, the President of
the United States and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Barack
Obama discussed issues of bilateral coordination in order to help
resolve regional and international issues, the official website of
the Kremlin reported.
"As heads of states, co-chairing the OSCE Minsk Group, Dmitry Medvedev
and Barack Obama exchanged views on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict," said in the report.
The U.S. President highly appreciated the efforts made by his Russian
counterpart in this regard, in particular, in a recent meeting with
the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Kazan.
Also, both sides expressed the intention to continue to take
coordinated steps in order to facilitate the search of peaceful
solution to the problem in Baku and Yerevan.
At the end of the meeting held in Kazan, Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev has prepared a message of the presidents of Azerbaijan and
Armenia Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan to the proposals on the vision
of the Nagorno Karabakh issue that was discussed recently in the form
of three presidents and with the participation of representatives
of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, USA and France. Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov gave those proposals during his visits to Baku
and Yerevan on 7-8 July.
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.
