OSCE MG hopes to hold meeting of Azerbaijani, Armenian presidents in near future

Baku, Azerbaijan, July 6

By Anakhanum Idayatova – Trend:

The US, Russia and France as the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group (MG) are committed to the convening another meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue as soon as possible, OSCE MG US co-chair James Warlick told Trend July 6.

According to Warlick, there is no date fixed for the next presidential meeting.

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
