Turkey is concerned over the escalating tension along the border
separating Azerbaijan and Armenia. "We are following the developments
with deep concern," Foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal told
Today's Zaman on Tuesday when asked about Turkey's position.
It should be recalled that at 06:30 on June 5 Armenian sabotage
group's efforts to enter Azerbaijani Armed Forces' positions in
Ashagi Eskipara village in the Gazakh region failed and it retreated
by suffering losses.
As a result of the fight, 4 soldiers of Azerbaijani Armed Forces
were killed.
Another Azerbaijani soldier was killed as a result of fire opened
from nameless heights in Gazakh 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 US -
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.
