Azerbaijan, Baku, June 21 / Trend S. Suleymanov /
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and OSCE Chairman, Kazakh Secretary of State and Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Astana today.
"We discussed the efforts that must be made to reduce tensions in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Davutoglu told journalists after the meeting.
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 United States - 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.
