By Jamila Jafarova - Trend:
The US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick wrote on Twitter
about his expectations from 2015 in terms of settlement of
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"2015 should be a year for Nagorno-Karabakh peace and a lasting
settlement," Warlick tweeted. "Renewed violence is not the answer."
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 US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
