Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk attended the meeting, said in the
Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan's press release.
The participants expressed concern over the situation prevailing over
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, as well as discussed the changing
of status quo and the solutions of the current problems during the
meeting.
The sides expressed their willingness to continue seeking a peaceful
solution to the conflict.
The participants also discussed the co-chairs visit to the region that

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

resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
