Kuwait supports all UN resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and respects the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, Deputy Prime Minister of Kuwait, Foreign Minister, Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah told journalists in Baku on Thursday. “Our position is reflected in all the decisions of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC),” he said. 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 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.
