Special Representative for South Caucasus, Peter Semneby, does not
exclude the possibility to visit occupied Azerbaijani territories if
the conflicting sides give consent.
"If the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sides give consent, I can visit
Nagorno-Karabakh," Semneby said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries appeared in 1988
due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and its seven surrounding districts. Since 1992 to the present
time, these territories have been under Armenian occupation. In 1994,
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire agreement at which time
the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group
( Russia, France and USA) are holding peaceful negotiations.
