Azerbaijan, Baku, August 31 /Trend, R.Darakhshan/

Breaking the ceasefire regime, Armenian Armed Forces attempted to attack at the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the direction of the Chayli village of Terter district.

Trend regional correspondent reported that Azerbaijani troops repelled the attack, where the Armenian side suffered casualties.

Armenian media outlets reported that during the battle, an Armenian soldier was wounded.

It was failure to clarify the incident with the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan.

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 and the surrounding regions.
