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.
