Azerbaijan, Baku, January 18/Trend News E. Tariverdiev / We hope after
the talks the both presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia will meet in
Davos. We witnessed the negotiations went successfully, and we keep
continuing actions. It was reported by US Co-Chairman Matthew Bryza to
Trend News Agency.

«Depending on the discussions, we hope that the two presidents
would agree to meet in the last days of January», – he said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group ` Russia,
France, and the U.S. ` are currently holding the peace negotiations.
