Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and Armenian Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian discussed the preparation for an upcoming
meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in Paris, Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry's Acting Press Secretary Hikmet Hajiyev told Trend
Sept. 24.
The foreign ministers' meeting was held in New York.
Hajiyev said the meeting was held as part of Azerbaijani foreign
minister's participation in the 69th session of the UN General
Assembly.
The meeting was held with the participation of the co-chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group, Hajiyev said.
The meeting also continued discussions on the ways of settlement of
the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Hajiyev.
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 four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
