Armenian FM to visit Iran

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will visit Iran soon, Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan said, ISNA news agency reported.

He noted that Armenian Foreign Minister plans to discuss Iran's mediation in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

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 7 surrounding districts. 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 the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
