Azerbaijani, Armenian FMs meet with co-chairs

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian met with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and the Personal Representative of the Chairperson-in-Office in Vilnius on Dec.4.

As Mediamax reported, the meeting discussed the possibility of issuing a joint statement within the OSCE member states' foreign ministers' meeting in Lithuania, which will kick off today.

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 7 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 and the surrounding regions.
