Deputy PM: Slovenia supports peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 19 / Trend V. Zhavoronkova /
Slovenia supports the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy and
Technology Radovan Žerjav told Trend in Baku today.
"Slovenia would like this problem to be resolved by peaceful means,"
he said. "Of course, seeing all these terrible events, we regret."
He said that the theme of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been
repeatedly touched upon at the talks during his visit to Baku.
"We live in the 21st century, and of course, these terrible events do
not belong to the present situation," he said.
He added that Slovenia wants the conflict to be rapidly resolved. This
will have a positive impact on the economic relations between the two
countries.
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.
