The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, the U.S., Russia, France, share a
common view to work together to support the Nagorno-Karabakh peace,
the OSCE Minsk Group's U.S. Co-chair, James Warlick wrote on his
personal Twitter page.
He noted that the settlement of the conflict is possible.
Warlick noted earlier that he was leaving Washington to meet with
the OSCE co-chairs to discuss next steps on Nagorno-Karabakh peace.
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. (Cihan/Trend az)
