Fresh attempt to end Nagorno Karabakh deadlock
23/06 12:45 CET
The landlocked mountainous region of Nagorno Karabakh remains one of
the frozen conflicts of post-Soviet rule. It declared its independence
from Azerbaijan in 1991 leading to a bloody war with ethnic Armenians
who make up most of the population of the enclave. Since a truce in
1994 it has remained in an unsteady deadlock.
Although most people there consider themselves Armenian, technically
the province lies in the territory of Azerbaijan.
Its independence has never been recognised by the international
community and repeated diplomatic attempts to find a solution have so
far failed.
Three presidents are involved in searching for a solution: Medvedev of
Russia, Sargsyan of Armenia, and Aliev of Azerbaijan. They last met in
March and on Friday they will convene once more in the southern
Russian town of Kazan, to attempt to break the impasse.
Ahead of the meeting the Azeri and Armenian leaders shared their
thoughts on the situation with euronews.
