BAKU - 02.08.2014 14:04:50
The Azerbaijani armed forces fully control the situation on the
Azerbaijani-Armenian border and on the frontline, spokesman for the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry Vagif Dergahli told Trend on August 2.
"There is no retreat from the Azerbaijani side," he added.
"Despite the losses, Azerbaijani soldiers and officers prevented the
enemy's attack on various fronts," he said.
"The enemy also suffered losses," he added. "Armenia hid its losses.
At present, Azerbaijani Air Forces control the situation along the
frontline. The situation is also controlled by Azerbaiajni Defense
Minister Zakir Hasanov. He gave the relevant instructions resulting in
suppressing the enemy's attacks. In some cases our servicemen
suppressed the mortar positions by machine-guns. A wounded ensign
continued fighting and destroyed several armed Armenian soldiers.
Armenians suffered many more losses, although we do not have accurate
statistics."
"After the first aid was rendered, wounded Azerbaijani servicemen were
transported to Baku's main hospital of the armed forces," he added.
"The specialized medical care will be rendered to them.
"
Some 12 Azerbaijani servicemen and some were wounded as a result of
the Armenian reconnaissance and sabotage groups' attacks on the
positions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces for the last four days.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result
of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent
of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts.
The two countries 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. (Cihan/Trend az)
