Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's regime will not resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijani deputy Prime Minister Ali
Hasanov told media today.
He expressed his attitude at a meeting of foreign ministers of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen in Paris today.
"Sargsyan's regime in Armenia came to power by shedding the blood of
Azerbaijanis," he said. "So, it will never solve this problem."
"In this regard Russia must demonstrate its clear position. It must
put pressure on Armenia and OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries
must join in this," the deputy Prime Minister said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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.
