Krakow meeting of Azerbaijani, Armenian FMs ends

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 18

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:

The meeting between Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian with participation of OSCE MG co-chairs and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk in Krakow has ended, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmat Hajiyev tweeted Jan. 18.

“Azerbaijan stands for substantive and logical talks for settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” Hajiyev earlier tweeted.

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
