    U.S. DIPLOMATS MULL NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    The former and current U.S. co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group have
    discussed the ways to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.

    Carey Cavanaugh and Robert Bradtke, former U.S co-chairs of the OSCE
    Minsk Group discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with James Warlick,
    the current U.S. co-chairman, Warlick wrote on his Twitter page.

    The United States is one of the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk
    Group, which tasked to resolve the long-lasting Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
    territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the early
    1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian armed
    forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
    recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
    regions.

    Peace talks, mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. through the OSCE
    Minsk Group, are underway on the basis of a peace outline proposed by
    the Minsk Group co-chairs and dubbed the Madrid Principles. However,
    the negotiations have been largely fruitless so far despite the
    efforts of the co-chair countries over 20 years.

    Armenia continues the occupation in defiance of four UN Security
    Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
