More discussion is needed on the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, according to the US Co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group James
Warlick.
On his Twitter page Warlick thanked the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, as well as the Conciliation Resources organization
for the discussion on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and urged to pay
more attention to this issue.
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 the UN Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
