Azerbaijani civilian injured in Armenian Armed Forces' shelling


(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Trend

The Armenian Armed Forces have subjected the Giyamaddinli village of Azerbaijan's Agjabadi district to intense shelling.

Rahim Hajiyev, a resident of the village, was injured as a result.

He was taken to the hospital, and his condition is assessed as fair.

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
