    DEFENSE MINISTRY: AZERBAIJANI SOLDIER CAPTIVATED BY ARMENIAN ARMED FORCES

    Trend

    Azerbaijan

    Soldier of Azerbaijani Army, Firuz Farajov (born in 1992) lost his way
    and was captured on the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani
    troops on Thursday, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

    He was taken prisoner on the contact line in the direction of Tovuz
    region.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 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.
