Trend, Azerbaijan

By Elchin Huseynov - Trend:
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov has not met with
Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian as part of the meeting of the
OSCE Ministerial Council, Trend's special correspondent in Basel said
Dec. 5.
This information was also confirmed by acting spokesman for the
Azerbaijani foreign ministry Hikmet Hajiyev.
However, the ministers have recently met with the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairmen separately and discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
