Armenia and Azerbaijani FMs to meet in Krakow

According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov, Moscow does not see any progress in the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, RIA Novosti reported.

"There is no progress yet," he said at a press conference on the results of the negotiations with his Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan.

The Armenian Foreign Minister agreed with Lavrov, adding that he would not say whether the situation is at an impasse.

"A new meeting of the foreign ministers is being prepared to be held soon. It will take place in May in Krakow. A meeting at the highest level is also not excluded," Nalbandyan said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions of Azerbaijan.

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 peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the occupied territories.
