/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Talks between Azerbaijan and its neighbor Armenia
over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region are in a final phase, Azeri
President Ilham Aliyev has said.
Christian ethnic Armenians, backed by Armenia, fought a war in the
1990s to end mainly Muslim Azerbaijan’s control over mountainous
Nagorno-Karabakh.
There was little sign of any peace deal until this year, when
Azerbaijan’s close ally Turkey began to thaw its own ties with
Armenia.
"Positive dynamics are observed in the negotiation process, and I can
say that the negotiation process is already in its final phase,"
Aliyev said on October 3 at a summit of Turkic-speaking nations in
Azerbaijan’s autonomous region of Nakhchivan, Reuters reported.
