Kerry Meets With His Azerbaijani Counterpart, Discuss Nagorno-Karabakh

Welcoming Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to the State Department, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry emphasized U.S. interest in finding a solution to the so-called "frozen conflict" in the breakaway Azerbaijani territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Some 30,000 people were killed after Armenia and Azerbaijan went to war over the region in the early 1990s before signing a truce in 1994. Years of internationally mediated talks have failed to make significant progress on the disputed region. (Reuters)
