Vienna (dpa) – The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan met for the
first time in two years in Vienna on Tuesday and agreed to continue
talks to settle the conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Armenia’s Serzh Sargsian and his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev,
instructed their foreign ministers after their meeting to intensify
the peace process, said the Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe, which organized the encounter.
The Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan, but
it has been effectively controlled by Armenia since a war in the
early 1990s.
The 1994 armistice between the two countries has been repeatedly
disrupted by violent clashes.
