Armenian media outlets: Azerbaijani sergeant captured by Armenian side

Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug.28 / Trend, K.Zarbaliyeva /

Azerbaijani Armed Forces' junior sergeant Roman Huseynov, born in 1985, was captured by the Armenian side Aug.27, the Armenian media outlets report.

The report was not officially confirmed by the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry and the State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing People.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent 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 United States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the surrounding territories.
