The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe says a weekend
meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia produced
progress but no solution to their dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh
enclave.

The OSCE said in a statement Monday that the two presidents discussed
proposals put forward by Russian, French and American co-chairs of
the so-called Minsk Group.

It says "in some areas progress was made. At the same time, some
issues still remain open."

The four-hour meeting in Munich was the group’s sixth this year.

Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave in Azerbaijan that has been under the
control of ethnic Armenian forces since a six-year conflict that
killed about 30,000 people and displaced 1 million before a truce
was reached in 1994. (AP)
