    Combat readiness of Armed Forces' frontline units examined

    6 January 2014, 13:11 (GMT+04:00)
    By Jamila Babayeva


    A team of officers led by the Deputy Minister of Defense of
    Azerbaijan, Chief of General Staff, Colonel General Najmeddin Sadigov,
    visited military units located in the frontline, the Defense Ministry
    told on January 6.

    The visits is aimed to check the readiness of troops for the new year,
    the combat potential, defensive power, logistics, provision with
    weapons and military equipment, as well as discipline on the
    frontline.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
    territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the
    early 1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian
    armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's
    internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and
    seven adjacent regions.

    Long-standing efforts by US, Russian and French mediators have been
    largely fruitless so far.

    The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian
    withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been
    enforced to this day.
