Azerbaijani, Armenian foreign ministers to meet in Paris

The next talks on resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers Elmar Mamadyarov and Edward Nalbandyan will be held in Paris on June 26, Azerbaijani President's Special Envoy and Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told reporters.  

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. 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 the peace negotiations.
