Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct.26 / Trend, S. Agayeva /
Georgia is ready to help resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze said at a joint press conference with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku.
"The South Caucasus is a holistic organism, it is impossible to break it. All three South Caucasian countries have to realize that we are in equal status and our independence and sovereignty are inseparably linked," Vashadze said.
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.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
