During his second term, U.S. President Barack Obama will continue to
be involved in the process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement
jointly with his Russian and French counterparts, Mediamax quotes U.S.
Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern as saying.
He said Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paid great
attention to Armenia and South Caucasus over the past 4 years.
The diplomat also recalled Hillary Clinton's two visits to the region.
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.
