Azerbaijan, Baku, July 16 / Trend U. Sadikhova /

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be the major topic on the agenda at the upcoming meeting between Azerbaijani and Turkish foreign ministers Elmar Mammadyarov and Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish Foreign Ministry Eurasian Department head Mehmet Fatih Ceylan told Trend.

The meeting will take place within the OSCE informal summit in Almaty.

Earlier the OSCE told Trend that the Azerbaijani and Armenian FMs will meet with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries at the summit. The meeting has been scheduled for July 17

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 seven surrounding districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.

Turkish media reported that Davutoglu will meet with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian at the summit. However, the Armenian Foreign Ministry denied the information.
