OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will met with Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in a few hours,
US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group, James Warlick tweeted on Oct.27.
Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents are expected to meet in Paris on
Oct.27 at the initiative of French President Francois Hollande.
Previously, Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents met in a trilateral
meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 10 in Sochi.
Prior to that, Russian president held bilateral meetings with
Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents.
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.
