Baku, Azerbaijan, July 10
By Emin Aliyev - Trend:
Britain would like to see the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolved,
UK Minister of State for Energy, Michael Fallon told reporters on
July 10 in Baku.
"We are not a part of the OSCE Minsk Group, which deals with this
issue, but certainly we would like to see this conflict resolved,"
he said.
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 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.
