Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev received a delegation led by
EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Herbert Salber on
October 20.
The sides exchanged views on the process of negotiations over the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
During his Baku visit, Salber will meet with Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov and Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the State Committee
for Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov.
The EU special representative for the South Caucasus also plans to
meet with IDPs settled in the suburbs of Baku.
Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing
of a fragile ceasefire in 1994. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were
killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale
hostilities. Since the war, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and
seven surrounding regions.
Armenia continues the occupation in defiance of four UN Security
Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal
of armed forces.
Peace talks brokered by mediators from Russia, France and the U.S.
have produced no results so far.
