Azerbaijan's defense minister meets OSCE MG co-chairs
By Trend
The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan Colonel General Zakir Hasanov has met with the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Igor Popov (Russia), Andrew Schofer (USA), Stephane Visconti (France) and the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan said in a message on Nov. 2.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the latest situation on the line of confrontation of the troops and the prospects for negotiations on the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
