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.
