Azerbaijan-Lithuania cooperation to strengthen Eurasian security - PHOTOS
The expansion of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Lithuania will contribute to the strengthening of peace and security in the Eurasian area, Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov said, the Azerbaijani defense ministry said July 2.

Hasanov on a visit to Lithuania made this statement at a meeting with Lithianian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius.

It was stressed during the meeting that the relations between the two countries are being successfully developed. The detailed information about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was given.

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 the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
