Azerbaijan, Baku, 6 March / Trend News corr. G.Jabiyev / The ruling
Yeni Azerbaijan Party (YAP) believes that serious internal tension in
Armenia was the reason for the intensive violation of the ceasefire
agreement on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia. "The
Armenian Government wishes to draw the attention of the world community
away from the curent situation in the country which resulted after the
presidentisal elections," Ali Ahmadov, Deputy Chairman and Executive
secretary of YAP, stated.
The Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire regime in various
directions on 4 March.
Ahmadov believes that this move by the Armenian Government cannot draw
away the attention of the world community from Armenia's internal
problems. The latest events on the contact line cannot remove the
tension that exists in Armenia. "Lives lost and gunfire retaliation
which Armenia faced after the violation of the ceasefire agreement will
become factors which will increase the internal tension in Armenia",
Ahmadov said.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
in 1988, due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
Since 1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven neighbouring
districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding
the peaceful negotiations.
