many global concerns
Baku, Azerbaijan, July 24
By Sabina Ahmadova - Trend:
The U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick has met with
the representatives of this organization.
"I reminded OSCE representatives that a Nagorno-Karabakh settlement
should be a priority, even with many global concerns," he stressed.
Warlick said on July 23 that he is leaving for Vienna to brief Minsk
Group representatives and OSCE Secretary General on Nagorno-Karabakh
peace.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met with the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs as part of the fifth meeting of the foreign ministers
of member countries of the EU Eastern Partnership in Brussels on July
22.
During the meeting the sides discussed the principles well known to
the public, as well as ways to accelerate the process of resolving of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of statements voiced by
co-chairs.
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.
