Iran: Armenia-Azerbaijan Republic dispute has no military solution
Baku, Azerbaijan, August 3
Trend:
Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman said the dispute between Armenia and
Azerbaijan Republic has no military solution, IRNA reported.
Marzieyeh Afkham urged the two neighbouring countries to hold talks to
reach an agreement.
According to the report of Foreign Ministry Media Department on
Sunday, Afkham expressed regret over killing several people in a
recent military clash and invited both sides to exercise restraint.
Armenia's reconnaissance and sabotage group attacked the positions of
Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of Azerbaijan's Aghdam and
Agdere regions on the night of August 1-2. Azerbaijan managed to
locate the group and the sabotage attempt was prevented.
During the last four days, Azerbaijani positions have been constantly
under attack, and 12 servicemen have been killed, several more got
wounded. Armenian side suffered more losses, while trying to hide this
fact from the public.
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.
