The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan discuss further ways of settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh problem at the meeting in Moscow on July 18, RIA Novosti said.
Leaders attended the races for the Russian President's prize at the central Moscow race track in the morning. Later they continued trilateral talks on one of Moscow restaurants.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7 districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
