OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen meet with Armenian FM

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian held a meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement Robert Bradtke (USA), Igor Popov (Russia) and Jacques Faure (France), as well as the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk on May 12. The co-chairmen arrived in Yerevan within the regional visit, Novosti Armenia reported.

During the meeting the sides touched upon the implementation of the agreements reflected in the joint statement of the Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents, adopted in Sochi on January 23, in particular regarding the establishment of a mechanism to investigate the incidents.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia 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.
