2009 was characterized by intensive talks on the Nagorny-Karabakh
conflict, the press service for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
addressing the results of 2009 reported on Thursday.

"That is indicated by the six meetings between the presidents of
Azerbaijan and Armenia and several meetings between the foreign
ministers involving the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group conducted
in 2009. At the same time, the international community gave a lot of
attention to the conflict," the report says.

"The international community recognizes the inadmissibility of
maintaining the status quo in the conflict and the need for its prompt
resolution," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in its report.
