Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of settling Armenians who fled conflict
in Syria to the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said Baku has repeatedly expressed its
discontent with this issue to OSCE Minsk Group's co-chairmen, the
Azerbaijani news website Trend.az reported yesterday. "This issue
is fully on our agenda, and we are already discussing this with
the co-chairs, noting its illegality," he said. "We asked them [the
Minsk Group co-chairs] to clarify whether Syrian Armenians were there
[in Nagorno Karabakh] or not," Mammadyarov also said. "The number
of Syrian Armenians in Karabakh is not very big. We are attentively
observing this issue," the minister said, according to News.az news
website. Armenia-backed separatists seized Nagorno-Karabakh from
Azerbaijan in a war in the 1990s that left some 30,000 dead. No final
peace deal has been signed since the cease-fire was established.
