OSCE MG hopes to continue to work within Madrid principles: American co-chair

OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair, U.S. Ambassador Robert Bradtke hopes to continue working with colleagues within and on the basis of the Madrid Principles, the Novosti-Armenia website reported.

Peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is impossible not given the views of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, Bradtke told journalist on Oct.1.

"I believe I look around and witness much more during my future visits," Bradtke added.

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.
