This ain't no game of hide and seek.

The occupied territories of Azerbaijan must be returned to Azerbaijan or they will be liberated with full force.

Azerbaijan and Turkey are laughing at Armenian threats and territorial claims

[Tomorr]

Isn't karabach majority Armenian? Like 95%... Why the hell would Azerbaijan want territory occupied by the enemy? They should just give it up already.

[Incal]

There are shootings on the border everyday from both sides. Why is this news, and why does it deserve its own thread?

Because inter-turks like to picture everybody as evil to not feel so bad about their terrible past (and present).

Wow.

Kosovo is 95% Albanian, and yet...

Isn't karabach majority Armenian? Like 95%... Why the hell would Azerbaijan want territory occupied by the enemy? They should just give it up already.Ermeniler ethnically cleansed Azeris and committed massacres against them like the infamous Xocalı Massacre.

Azerbaijan wants its lands back that was taken away from it by force. I'm sure Albania would do the same if a bunch of Montenegrins decided they wanted 20% of Albania and then occupied it and expelled all the Albanians.

I am sure that Azerbaijan is in the process of formulating a comprehensive plan and strategy to decisively defeat Armenias occupation army and liberate the occupied territories.

[Hoca]

In my opinion the Armenians can stay in the ocupied places but the Azeri that have been removed should return to Karabakh and sort things out.

[Musso]

The Azeris can return to the independent Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh when their country accepts the inevitable fact of Karabakh independence. They can become citizens of NKR and will be treated equally under the law.

Azerbaijani Army soldier wounded

Soldier of the Azerbaijani Army, 19-year-old Farhad Shikhsafiyev was wounded as a result of violation of the ceasefire in the direction of Fizuli region by the Armenian Armed Forces. Azerbaijani Defence Ministry confirmed this fact on Wednesday.

The health state of the soldier, who was hospitalized, is serious.

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 the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

Defense ministry condemns frequent Armenian ceasefire breaches

The situation on the contact line of Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces remains tense due to frequent ceasefire violations by the Armenian troops.

"Armenian armed units regularly breach the ceasefire by firing upon Azerbaijani positions and as a result, the Azerbaijani armed forces have to respond to them," Azerbaijani Defense Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu told Azernews.

The Armenian forces almost every day open fire at the Azerbaijani positions in different areas of the frontline -- mostly in Gazakh, Aghdam, Fizuli, Goranboy and Terter regions.

"It is wartime, under such circumstances any event can occur, and as a result of armistice breaches both sides lose soldiers," Sabiroglu said.

A precarious cease-fire, reached after a lengthy war that displaced over a million Azerbaijanis, has been in place between the two South Caucasus countries since 1994. Since the hostilities, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

Recently, a lieutenant of the Azerbaijani army was killed and one soldier wounded as a result of a ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed forces.

OSCE representatives every month hold monitoring on the Armenian-Azerbaijani frontline and every time they state that the monitoring revealed no incidents.

The Armenians tend to follow the ceasefire agreement when OSCE representatives are holding monitoring on the troops' contact line.

"They immediately breach the ceasefire after the monitoring and shamelessly blame Azerbaijan for this. They state at international organizations that Azerbaijan violates the ceasefire in an attempt to take advantage of this situation," Sabiroglu said.

He said Defense Minister Safar Abiyev always reiterates the just position of Azerbaijan during meetings with representatives of other countries, stressing the occupation policy of Armenia and tension in the region caused by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

International efforts to facilitate a solution to the long-standing conflict have been fruitless so far.

Peace talks are brokered by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs representing the United States, Russia and France. The negotiations are underway on the basis of a peace outline proposed by the Minsk Group co-chairs and dubbed the Madrid Principles, also known as Basic Principles. The document envisions a return of the territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijani control; determining the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh; a corridor linking Armenia to the region; and the right of all internally displaced persons to return home.
