The U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan has no information about well-known American
television journalist, former CNN host Larry King's plans to travel to
occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, the Embassy told Trend.
"Due to the existing state of hostilities, we cannot offer consular
services to U.S. citizens in Nagorno-Karabakh," the Embassy said.
According to the Embassy, the U.S. continues to urge all sides to take
meaningful steps towards a peaceful 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 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.
