    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.
