Baku,Yerevan working out meeting on Karabakh conflict settlement
Azerbaijan and Armenia are working out a possible meeting on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, said Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia's foreign ministry, Trend's special correspondent reported.
“A decision on the venue and the exact date of the meeting has not been made yet," Zakharova said, adding that the matter rests in the nearest weeks, “but it is too early to talk about the format”.
Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has recently told RIA Novosti that a meeting on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement is planned to be held with the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen in the nearest future.
Azerbaijan and Armenia for over two decades have been locked in conflict, which emerged over Armenian territorial claims. Since the 1990s war, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions. The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal, but they have not been enforced to this day.
A precarious cease-fire was signed in 1994. However, the Armenian forces commit armistice breaches on the frontline almost every day.
