Media plays important role in conveying truth about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the protracted conflicts, CEO of Italy’s AGI agency Gianni Di Giovanni, who is participating in the 4th Baku International Humanitarian Forum, told.

He said media outlets play an important role in conveying the truth about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to the world community and expressed hope that the conflict will be settled in next few years.

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 U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
