Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 25
By Samir Ali – Trend:
Another bloody incident took place in one of the Armenian army’s battalions stationed near Azerbaijan’s occupied Aghdere region.
A dispute between two Armenian soldiers led to insulted soldier Artur Khachaturyan's firing at his fellow soldier.
The information on whether the wounded soldier is alive or dead is being concealed from his parents.
Investigation Department of the Armenian Defense Ministry launched an investigation into the case.
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.
