Azerbaijan, Baku / Òrend corr S. Aghayeva / Azerbaijan will not attend
the forthcoming meeting of the CIS Prosecutor-Generals Co-ordinating
Council to take place in Yerevan, Armenia on 9 October.

Up to now the Azerbaijan Prosecutor General’s Office has not
participated in any meeting held in Armenia and has no intention to
do that in future, according to the Prosecutor General’s Office.

The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in 1988
due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since 1992, these
territories have been under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time
the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group
(Russia, France and USA) are currently holding peaceful negotiations.
