EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus will discuss the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and the development of cooperation
between Azerbaijan and the EU in Baku.
EU Special Representative
for the South Caucasus Philippe Lefort's visit to Baku is scheduled for
next week, the EU Baku office told Trend today.
Lefort is
currently on a visit to Yerevan, where he discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict settlement with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian,
Armenian media reported.
The conflict between the two South
Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims
against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of
Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
France and the U.S. - are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia
has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on
the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
