Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 9 / Trend /

Moscow hosted a meeting of foreign ministers of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov, Russia Sergei Lavrov and Armenia Edward Nalbaldyan, the head of the press center of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov told Trend.

The sides discussed the issue of resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The foreign minister attended the next meeting of the CIS Council of Foreign Ministers in Moscow.

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.
