The cooperation between three regional countries - Turkey, Georgia
and Azerbaijan sends a clear message to Armenia, Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press conference in Batumi today.
"Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan have created a platform for cooperation
in all areas and are working to ensure the development of the region,"
he added. "This is the message to our neighbor - Armenia."
Armenia must end its occupation of Azerbaijani lands, withdraw its
troops from Nagorno-Karabakh and begin constructive activity to ensure
stability and security in the region, he stressed.
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.
