    BRIEF: BAKU ATTACHES GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MEETING OF AZERBAIJANI AND ARMENIAN PRESIDENTS

    May 31--BAKU, Azerbaijan -- The presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia
    will meet in the third decade of June upon Russian President Dmitry
    Medvedev's initiative, Head of the Foreign Relations Department at
    the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov told
    journalists today.

    "We attach great importance to this meeting. Moreover, the
    international community and OSCE Minsk Group member countries also
    attach great importance to the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
    presidents," 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.
