OSCE Director for Conflict Prevention will visit Azerbaijan tomorrow

Director of the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre Adam Kobieracki will arrive from Georgia to Azerbaijan on Nov.22, the OSCE Office announced.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.

The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding the peace negotiations.
