(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Fatima Hasanova
On November 30, the Azerbaijani foreign minister left for a
working visit to Poland, Azernews reports, citing the press service
of the Foreign Ministry.
Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov left for a working visit to
Poland to participate in the 29th meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE).
As part of the visit, he is also scheduled to have bilateral
meetings.
As OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries Russia, the US, and
France had been mediating a peaceful solution to the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict since the signing of the volatile
cease-fire agreement in 1994. The Minsk Group's efforts resulted in
no progress as Armenia refused to abide by the UN Security Council
resolutions (822, 853, 874, and 884) demanding the immediate and
unconditional withdrawal of its troops from Azerbaijani
territories, which was the main obstacle to the resolution of the
conflict.
The trilateral ceasefire deal, signed by the Azerbaijani,
Russian and Armenian leaders on November 10, 2020, ended the
three-decade conflict over Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region
which along with the seven adjacent regions came under the
occupation of Armenian armed forces in the war in the early
1990s.
On January 11, 2021, the Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian
leaders signed the second statement since the end of the 44-day
war. The newly-signed statement is set to implement clause 9 of the
November 2020 statement related to the unblocking of all economic
and transport communications in the region.
The first step towards the normalization process was the
trilateral ceasefire deal signed by the Azerbaijani, Russian and
Armenian leaders on November 10, 2020, which ended the three-decade
conflict over Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, which along with the
seven adjacent districts came under the occupation of Armenian
armed forces in the war in the early 1990s.
