Armenia has made diplomatic progress in the Karabakh conflict settlement, said RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian.

YEREVAN, December 26. /ARKA/. Armenia has made diplomatic progress in the Karabakh conflict settlement, said RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian.

Taking into account the content of negotiations and the attitude of international experts to the issue, Armenia has made serious achievements in the Karabakh conflict settlement, according to the Minister.

He stated that Armenia will maintain the policy of the Karabakh conflict settlement. Moreover, Oskanian believes Armenia pursues an effective foreign policy.

The Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 when Nagorno Karabakh, mainly populated by Armenians, declared its independence from Azerbaijan.

On December 10, 1991, a few days after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a referendum took place in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the majority of the population (99.89%) voted for independence from Azerbaijan.

Afterwards, large-scale military operations began, as a result of which Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven regions adjacent to it.

On May 12, 1994 after the signing of the Bishkek cease-fire agreement, the military operations were stopped.

Since 1992, negotiations over the peaceful settlement of the conflict have been carried out within the OSCE Minsk Group, co-chaired by the USA, Russia and France. Z. Sh. –0--
