Azerbaijani, Armenian FMs offered to meet July 11: source

By  Trend

Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers, Elmar Mammadyarov and Edward Nalbandian may meet July 11 in Mauerbach, Austria.

“The two countries’ foreign ministers are offered to meet during the OSCE Informal Ministerial Meeting, to be held July 11 in Austria’s Mauerbach,” a diplomatic source told RIA Novosti. “The mediators for settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are also expected to participate in the meeting.”

Armenia broke out a lengthy war against Azerbaijan by laying territorial claims on its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities.

Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.
