Today Prime Minister of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili said in Yerevan
that the Karabakh issue will be difficult to resolve in the near
future.
As Mediamax reported, he made this statement addressing a joint press
conference with his Armenian counterpart Tigran Sargsyan.
"My wish and appeal is resolving the conflict peacefully and using
every effort by both countries for this purpose," he said.
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.
