Turkey's Sinirlioglu to visit Baku
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu will pay a visit to Azerbaijan on September 15-16, ANKA news agency reported Sept.14.
The minister is expected to discuss the development of bilateral relations, as well as the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani 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 two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
