settlement in late January
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 12 / Trend S. Agayeva /
Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers will meet in late January,
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told media at a
briefing in Baku on Wednesday.
The sides will discuss the current situation with the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.

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.
