MOSCOW – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has hosted a meeting of
the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to discuss ways to resolve the
dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but it has been under the
control of Armenian troops and ethnic Armenian forces since the end
of a six-year separatist war in 1994.
Medvedev’s talks with Armenia’s Serge Sarkisian and Azerbaijan’s
Ilham Aliyev have not produced any breakthroughs in what is one of
the former Soviet Union’s most troubling “frozen conflicts.”
During Wednesday’s talks in the southern Russian city of Astrakhan ,
Sarkisian and Aliyev agreed to exchange prisoners of war and victims’
bodies.
Russia, along with the U.S. and France, has been leading international
efforts to resolve the conflict.
