The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia held talks in Iran on Monday (Oct 23), marking their first meeting since the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh went under the control of Azerbaijan, with Russia stating that the main issue was resolved and further work needs to be done on a peace treaty.

Armenia, Azerbaijan hold talks in Iran as Russia claims main issue resolved in Nagorno-Karabakh

Nagorno-Karabakh is an Armenian enclave within Azerbaijani territory. Home to about 120,000 ethnic Armenians, the disputed region has been blockaded since December last year. Consequently, supplies of basic foodstuff, essential medicines and fuel from the Armenian capital, Yerevan, has been cut off, forcing the Nagorno-Karabakh population facing hunger and a possible human catastrophe. Residents of Nagorno-Karabakh allege a slow-motion genocide, with hunger being used as a classic weapon. Baku denies any blockade though, claiming it was forced to act after environmental violations.
