Azerbaijan, Baku, April 10 / Trend /

Soldier of the Azerbaijani Army, 19-year-old Farhad Shikhsafiyev was wounded as a result of violation of the ceasefire in the direction of Fizuli region by the Armenian Armed Forces. Azerbaijani Defence Ministry confirmed this fact on Wednesday.

The health state of the soldier, who was hospitalized, is serious.

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.
