Russian and French Foreign and Defense Ministers will consider ways
to resolve conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Kosovo, and Transnistria,
and check approaches of establishing a peace process in Afghanistan,
RIA Novosti reported.
Russian and French Foreign Ministers Sergey Lavrov and Alain Juppe,
and Russian and French Defense Ministers Anatoly Serdyukov and
Gerard Longuet, plan on discussing the situation in Libya, Syria,
the problems of the anti-missile defense systems, and the Russian
Federation's dialogue with the EU and NATO in Moscow on September 7.
Meetings will be held within the bilateral co-operation of the council
on safety issues.
Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander
Lukashevich said that the sides will discuss the situation in the
area of European cooperation, taking into account the cooperation
between Moscow and Paris in the UN and Security Council.
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.
