Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 11
By Elmira Tariverdiyeva - Trend:
The OSCE Minsk Group will meet with German officials in Berlin to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, the US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick wrote in Twitter Dec. 11.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
