German Foreign Minister will discuss ways of resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Baku.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier will start his tour to the South Caucasus, which envisages the discussions in Azerbaijan and Armenia, Deutsche Welle agency reported.

Steinmeier will arrive in Baku on October 23, where he is scheduled to meet with Azerbaijani officials. Later in Yerevan he will met with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.

For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in conflict which emerged over Armenia's territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor.

Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since 1994, but long-standing efforts by U.S., Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
