    Settlement of Karabakh conflict necessary - Turkish Foreign Ministry

    6 January 2015, 15:13 (GMT+04:00)
    By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:


    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the problems
    in the region and should be resolved, Tanju Bilgic, the official
    representative of Turkish Foreign Ministry said.

    Bilgic added that Turkey stands for the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict and other conflicts in the region, TRT Haber TV channel
    reported on Jan.6.

    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.
