Agenda of Azerbaijani, Armenian presidents
The further agenda of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents’ talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement depends on the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen’s forthcoming visit to the region, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press-conference following the talks with Costa Rica’s counterpart Manuel Gonzalez Sanz.

"Either the presidents will choose a topic for negotiations or the co-chairmen will make new proposals," he said.

He said that the co-chairmen are expected to visit the region October 26-28.

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.
