Turkey, Russia may set up joint working group to resolve Karabakh conflict - media
By Trend
Turkey and Russia may set up a joint working group to resolve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Trend reports citing the CNN Turk.
As reported, the working group would function outside the format of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on
positions of the Azerbaijani army on the front line, using
large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery on Sept. 27.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire
front. Currently, Azerbaijan continues the liberation of its
territories from Armenian troops.
Back in July 2020, the Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire
in the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a result of
Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were silenced. The
fighting continued the following days as well. Azerbaijan lost a
number of military personnel members, who died fighting off the
attacks of the Armenian Armed Forces.
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, the 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.
