OSCE MG to discuss Karabakh conflict in Vienna
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will discuss the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Vienna July 21, James Warlick, the US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group tweeted.

Warlick wrote that he is looking forward to briefing Minsk Group members at OSCE today in Vienna on the peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh. “Then it`s on to Baku.”

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
