Azerbaijani, Turkish and Armenian President will hold trilateral
meeting in Prague to discuss resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Turkey’s Huriyyet newspaper reported.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 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 the peace negotiations.
The meeting will take place on May 7-8, Huriyyet reported.
