France, Strasburg, Dec. 14 / Trend A.Maharramli /
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) mulled the activities of the Nagorno-Karabakh Subcommittee in Paris today, the organization's press officials told Trend .
"PACE President Luis Maria de Puig spoke with a communique in connection with the Nagorno-Karabakh subcommittee," the source said. "The bureau members exchanged their views. Despite the fact that a decision on the basis of the discussions was not accepted, it was decided to discuss the issue at the regular PACE winter session."
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 holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. General Assembly's resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
