Greece supports the OSCE Minsk Group on issue on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, former Greek Foreign Minister
Dora Bakoyannis, who is attending the Second Baku International
Humanitarian Forum, told journalists on Friday.
"I am very sorry to say that we were close at the time to solving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but unfortunately now there things are not
moving," she said.
According to Bakoyannis, it is necessary to keep trying with the OSCE
Minsk Group and with the international community so that the discord
found its solution.
She also said that relations between Greece and Azerbaijan are excellent.
We have friendship and productive relationship," she said.
Baku International Humanitarian Forum is an authoritative science and
political global platform to search answers for global challenges,
which were faced by humanity in the 21st Century through the holding
of a wide range of dialogues, exchanges of opinions and discussion on
the most important issues of humanitarian cooperation.
Co-founders of the forum are President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Famous state figures, Nobel laureates, 15 ex-presidents, heads of
various countries' governments, ministers, well-known figures in the
fields of education, science and culture, are attending the event.
The first Baku International Humanitarian Forum under the slogan "XXI
century: hopes and challenges" took place in October of 2011.
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.
