U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is encouraging Armenia and Azerbaijan to solve a territorial dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, AP reported.

On Tuesday, she held separate meetings with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to move the two countries toward a solution.

U.S. diplomats are looking for progress on a list of principals for governing the territory when the countries' presidents meet Thursday at a European Union meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave inside Azerbaijan, has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces since a six-year conflict that killed about 30,000 and displaced 1 million people before a truce was reached in 1994.
