EU Special Representative, Armenian President discuss Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

The Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has today received EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Philippe Lefort in Yerevan.

"The two sides discussed the issues related to the settlement of conflicts in the region," Mediamax reported.

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.
