Turkish Foreign Minister and U.S. Secretary of State discussed situation in South Caucasus

Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 14 / Trend / Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday discussed the situation in South Caucasus, as well as Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, Anadolu agency reported. According to Davutoglu, such discussions can strengthen US-Turkish relations, as well as help to stabilize situation in South Caucasus. The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 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 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. Do you have any feedback?
