Baku, Azerbaijan, June 19
Trend:
Looking forward to meetings later this week with the Foreign Minister
of Armenia and the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, to encourage
continued dialogue between them, said on his Twitter page, US National
Security Advisor John Bolton.
"The United States stands ready to assist in advancing the cause of peace in the region," said Bolton.
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.
