Foreign ministers Sergey Lavrov of Russia and Edvard Nalbandian of
Armenia held a working meeting Tuesday in Moscow, Russian Foreign
Ministry's press service reported.
According to the report, during the meeting they discussed a number
of topical bilateral issues and preparations for a forthcoming meeting
of the presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia on the settlement
of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
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.
