BRIEF: Baku reserves right to respond should Turkey-Armenia flights open
by S.Agayeva, Trend News Agency, Baku, Azerbaijan
July 22--Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey have been
broken due to Armenia's claims of an alleged genocide, and its
occupation of Azerbaijani lands. The border between them has been
broken since 1993.
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.
