U.S. co-chair of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe Minsk Group will meet with the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan
and Armenia on April 4, James Warlick wrote on his Twitter page
April 2.
Warlick noted that he is leaving for consultations at OSCE headquarters
in Vienna. Then he plans to arrive in Moscow for April 4 meetings
with the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
This is the original Twitter post: "Leaving today for consultations
at @OSCE in #Vienna. Then to #Moscow for Friday meetings with the
FMs of #Armenia and #Azerbaijan. #NKpeace"
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.
