Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met with Secretary
General of the OSCE Lamberto Zannier on the sidelines of the 67th
Session of the UN General Assembly, the ministry said.
They discussed Azerbaijan-OSCE cooperation and exchanged views over
Minsk Group's activity toward resolving the conflict between Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
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.
