The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will meet to mull the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict in New York in late September within the UN General Assembly's
session, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich
was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
"The next meeting is scheduled for the third decade of September
within the UN General Assembly's session in New York,' he said at a
press conference in Moscow
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.
