The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is engaged in resolution
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, will discuss
ways to resolve the conflict in Baku next week, the U.S. Embassy in
Azerbaijan told Trend news agency on October 30.
Ambassadors Igor Popov of the Russian Federation, Jacques Faure of
France, and James Warlick of the U.S. will visit Baku at the beginning
of the week, the embassy said.
For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in
conflict which emerged over Armenia's territorial claims against its
South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory,
including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. A fragile
ceasefire has been in place since 1994, but long-standing efforts by
US, Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
