Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict deserves much more
international attention than it gets. Special Representative of
NATO's Secretary General for South Caucasus and Central Asia, James
Appathurai made this statement commenting on the recent report
"Armenia and Azerbaijan: A Season of Risks" of the International
Crisis Group on his Facebook page.
"This issue deserves much more international attention than it gets,
and more support to find a resolution," he said.
According to Appathurai, the effects if this conflict "unfreezes"
would be felt far beyond the region.
It should be noted that the International Crisis Group has recently
published a report regarding the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.The report says that confrontation, low-intensity but
volatile, between Armenia and Azerbaijan has entered a period of
heightened sensitivity.
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.
