During its OSCE presidency, Serbia will seek to solve military
conflicts, Serbia's First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
Ivica Dacic said at the press conference in Baku on Sept.10.
Serbian minister stressed that he intends to contribute to the
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "I
will visit this region again. As OSCE chairman, I will seek to waste
no effort in resolving military conflicts," he added.
Dacic went on to add that Serbia highly appreciates Azerbaijan's
support to its territorial integrity.
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.
