Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili regrets the current state
of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Ivanishvili made this
statement at a press conference on Wednesday.
"I was in Azerbaijan and Armenia and met with top officials in an
attempt to mediate, but there are great problems," he added.
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 four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
