Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct.12 / Trend E.Tariverdiyeva/
A meeting was held between Secretary of State - Deputy Foreign
Minister of the Russian Federation Grigory Karasin and U.S. Assistant
Secretary of State, Philip Gordon in Geneva. The meeting, which
discussed a number of issues of mutual interest, was held on Oct.11,
Russian Foreign Ministry's official website reported.
The sides exchanged views regarding impact of the Georgian
parliamentary elections on the situation in the South Caucasus region
and the state of Tbilisi's relations with neighboring states.
The meeting also discussed the development of relations of Russia and
the U.S. with states of Transcaucasia and the situation around the
resolution of the 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 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.
