YEREVAN, June 19, /ARKA/. Google Maps indicates Nagorno-Karabakh as ‘Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic.’ Comments in Azerbaijani media describe it as ‘another provocation against Azerbaijan."
The Karabakh conflict started after a 1991 referendum in which 99.98 percent of its prevailing Armenian population voted for independence from Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan responded by large-scale military operations that led to loss of control not only over Nagorno-Karabakh itself, but also over seven adjoining areas. About 25-30 thousands people were killed and about a million had to leave their homes during the military operations.
A trilateral cease-fire agreement was signed on May 12, 2004, and has been followed since then.
The ongoing Karabakh peace process started in 1992 under auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by the USA, Russia and France. –0—
