OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen meet with Armenian FM
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian held a meeting with the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement
Robert Bradtke (USA), Igor Popov (Russia) and Jacques Faure (France),
as well as the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
Andrzej Kasprzyk on May 12. The co-chairmen arrived in Yerevan within
the regional visit, Novosti Armenia reported.
During the meeting the sides touched upon the implementation of the
agreements reflected in the joint statement of the Russian, Armenian
and Azerbaijani Presidents, adopted in Sochi on January 23, in
particular regarding the establishment of a mechanism to investigate
the incidents.
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 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.
