The heads-of-state of Azerbaijan and Armenia have agreed to pursue
negotiations regarding the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after they
resumed direct contacts at a session in Paris on Monday (October 27),
a statement from the French government said, according to Euractiv.com
"The status quo is not sustainable," the office of French President
Francois Hollande said following the talks between Azerbaijan's Ilham
Aliyev and Armenia's Serzh Sargsyan. The latest talks have come on
the heels of increased clashes in the region during the summer.
The two leaders agreed to exchange information on people who have
gone missing during the fighting, Hollande's office stated.
Fighting first broke out in the region in 1991 during the collapse
of the Soviet Union. There was a ceasefire in 1994 after more than
30,000 people were killed in fighting. The two countries have traded
accusations regularly of violence in the area and along their shared
border.
