Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 23
Trend:
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has released infographics entitled "Illegal economic and other activities in the territories of Azerbaijan occupied by Armenia."
Infographics is based on the report of the Foreign Ministry "Illegal economic and other activities in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" (2016) and " Legal opinion on third party obligations with respect to illegal economic and other activities in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan " (2017), prepared by international lawyer Allen Pellet (Allain Pellet).
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.
