Russian President Dmitry Medvedev discussed the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the EU - Russia summit in Brussels, Russia-24 TV channel reported.

"Today we discussed the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and issues of common security in the region," Medvedev said at a news conference in Brussels.

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 Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
