BAKU - 27.12.2014 11:44:06
The Azerbaijani Armed Forces have intercepted a member of the Armenian
sabotage and intelligence group, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said
Dec. 27.
The Armenian sabotage and reconnaissance group tried to cross the line
of contact in the direction of the Aghdam district in the evening on
December 26.
This attempt was thwarted due to the vigilance of Azerbaijani military
units located on the defense line.
After a short skirmish, the enemy retreated by suffering huge losses.
According to the preliminary information, the professional serviceman,
the member of the Armenian sabotage and intelligence group Arsen
Baghdasaryan was taken prisoner.
The activity of the detainee is being investigated, the ministry said.
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 US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
