Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry has expressed its attitude towards
the Armenian Armed Forces' exercises in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories. Conducting such exercises by undisciplined army will
not change anything, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry Deputy Spokesman
Teymur Abdullayev told Trend on Saturday.
"What will be changed whether undisciplined army will or will not
conduct exercises with weak material and technical base and old
weapons? The more they conduct military exercises and parades, the
more they show the weakness of their army," Abdullayev said.
The Armenians are conducting military exercises using heavy artillery
and armored vehicles on the occupied Azerbaijani territories, several
media outlets reported.
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 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
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.
