The presidents of Russia and the United States Vladimir Putin and
Barack Obama are planning to sign three documents after negotiations
in the framework of the G8 summit, including a joint statement of the
presidents of Russia, the U.S. and France on the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem, the Russian president's assistant Yuri Ushakov told
journalists, RIA Novosti reported.
"With 100 percent certainty I can say that Obama, Putin and Hollande
(French President Francois Hollande) will adopt a statement on the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem," Ushakov said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding
regions of Azerbaijan.
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 occupied territories.
