France, Strasburg, Jan.29 / Trend A.Maharramli /
Nagorno-Karabakh Subcommittee's future was one the agenda of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) Bureau, but the election of its chairman was not discussed, a source in the council told Trend .
Due to time constraints, this issue was not discussed and it was postponed for March 11 when the bureau will hold a meeting in Paris.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent 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 the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
