Nov 18 2013
Russia hopes for resuming the contacts between the Armenian and
Azerbaijani authorities over Nagorno-Karabakh issue and is ready to
assist in resolving the problem, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov said at a press conference after a meeting with Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian on Monday, RIA Novosti reported.
"We hope that the direct contacts between the Armenian and Azerbaijani
leaders will be resumed in the near future," Lavrov said. "As I said,
we will do our best to help to create the necessary sphere to reach
the conflict settlement upon the earlier reached agreements."
Azerbaijani and Armenian president Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan
must meet in Vienna on November 19 within the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
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.
