Nagorno-Karabakh conflict discussed in U.S.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian has met with the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairmen in New York, Armenian news agency Mediamax
reported.
The meeting focused on the negotiation process over Nagorno-Karabakh,
the ministry told Mediamax.
The Armenian Foreign Minister also met with U.S Assistant Secretary of
State Philip Gordon. They have discussed bilateral relations, the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and the situation in the peace
process.
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.
