By Sabina Ahmadova - Trend:
It is important to have honest discussion about how to achieve the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace, the U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group,
James Warlick wrote on his Twitter account on May 13.
The co-chair also thanked the followers of his Twitter account for
the comments on his speech about the keys to a settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace in Washington.
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.
