OSCE MG not satisfied with Karabakh conflict
The OSCE Minsk Group is not satisfied with the status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, James Warlick, the OSCE Minsk Group US co-chairman tweeted Feb. 5.

“We are fully committed to negotiations for a peaceful settlement,” he wrote.

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 withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
