    Eight Azerbaijani servicemen killed during fighting over last three days


    Baku, Azerbaijan, August 1
    By Ilkin Izzet - Trend:

    Eight servicemen of Azerbaijani armed forces have been killed during
    the fighting over the last three days, the Azerbaijani Defense
    Ministry said on August 1.

    Azerbaijani Defense Ministry expressed its deepest condolences to the
    parents and relatives of the martyrs and said that the frontline is
    fully controlled by the Azerbaijani armed forces.

    The armed forces of Armenia, that have become more active in recent
    days, violate the state border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well
    as the ceasefire on the contact line of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
    armies and attack the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces.

    The reconnaissance and sabotage groups of the Armenian army attempted
    to cross the contact line of the Azerbaijani and Armenian armies on
    the frontline. The units of Azerbaijani armed forces repelled all
    attacks of the enemy; Armenians suffered heavy losses as a result of
    the fierce fighting and were forced to retreat. The Azerbaijani army
    lost its eight servicemen.

    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.
