with Armenian FM
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian discussed settlement of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with U.S Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State, Co-Chairman of OSCE Minsk Group, Matthew Bryza, on August 8,
Novosti-Armenia said with reference to press-service of the foreign
ministry.
"Last development of negotiating process on settlement of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was discussed during the meeting", the
message said. The interlocutors also considered Armenian-U.S
relations.
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.
