Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 13
Trend:
Azerbaijani Armed Forces prevented another attempt of sabotage Feb. 12 in the country’s Nagorno-Karabakh region by a subversive group of the Armenian Armed Forces, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said.
The group was identified and destroyed, according to the ministry.
Azerbaijani Armed Forces control the operational situation on the frontline.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
