Serious and intense violation in the recent time of ceasefire by
the Armenian side negatively affects the negotiation process, deputy
chairman of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova told reporters
on Thursday.
"This is an indication that Armenia, which is one of the parties to
the negotiations, takes destructive position and its position in the
negotiation process is at odds with the real position," she said.
Recent activities of the Armenian side cast a shadow on the
achievements and the prospects, Muradova said.
Due to the fact that in recent days the frequent violation of the
ceasefire coincided with the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton to the region, deputy speaker said that recent events have
forced to put forward different ideas.
"But it is obvious that the Armenians continue to turn to the heralds
of the interests of others," she said.
Recently, the ceasefire has intensively been violated on the front
line. 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 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.
