The cause of what is happening on the contact line between Armenian
and Azerbaijani troops is that Armenia doesn't free the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan, head of the press service of the Defence
Ministry of Azerbaijan, Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu said.
"Armenia violates the ceasefire throughout the entire line of contact.
Azerbaijani armed forces give them a fitting rebuff. Unfortunately
violation of the ceasefire on the contact line leads to losses and
injuries on both sides. That is inevitable, " Sabiroglu said.
Armenia has to free the territories, occupied over 20 years ago,
he said. "The day will come, when the Armenian army stationed in
Nagorno-Karabakh will be driven out," Sabiroglu said.
Armenia shouldn't be proud of solely occupying territories of
Azerbaijan. This is not the case. Supporters of the aggressor have
given it the maximum assistance, the head of the press service stated.
"The armed forces of Azerbaijan possess sufficient strength to protect
the state and its people," Sabiroglu said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia 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 four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
