Armenian FM, OSCE mediators discuss Karabakh conflict in U.S.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian has met with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen brokering settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in New York, Armenian news agency Mediamax reported.
The meeting focused on the negotiation process over the long-standing conflict, the ministry told Mediamax.
The Armenian foreign minister also met with U.S Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon. They discussed bilateral relations, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and the situation in the peace process.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijani territory since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 peace negotiations.
