Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday discussed the situation in South Caucasus, as well as Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, Anadolu agency reported.

According to Davutoglu, such discussions can strengthen US-Turkish relations, as well as help to stabilize situation in South Caucasus.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
