Azerbaijan, Barda / corr Trend S.Jalilooglu / On 24 August at 08.30
two military vehicles UAZ, belonging to the Armenian Armed Forces,
attempted to cross the frontline from the territory of Yusifjanly
village of Agdam District of Azerbaijan in the direction of position
of the Azerbaijani National Army.
Major part of Agdam was occupied by the Armenian Armed Forces on 22
July 1993. Part of the Yusifjanli village is under Armenians' control
and the rest Azerbaijani National Army.
A reliable source informed Trend regional correspondent that the
vehicles carrying the Armenian military attempted to cross to
Azerbaijan's frontline positions in Yusifjanli village via Gargar
River. The sides exchanged fire and the Azerbaijan National Army
soldiers intersected the Armenians.
Residents of the frontline area confirmed the fact of shooting, which
lasted around two hours.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry did not report on the fact.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in
1988 due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia
has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since
1992, these territories have been under the occupation of the
Armenian Forces. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France and USA) are currently
holding peaceful negotiations.
