Ambassador: US does not consider Nagorno-Karabakh conflict frozen
The US does not consider Nagorno-Karabakh conflict frozen, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Robert Secuta told reporters Oct. 9.

"I think that the sides must find a solution to this conflict," he said.

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.
