Former Bosnian foreign minister: Ignoring UN resolutions on Nagorno Karabakh threatening global peace

By Trend

Former Bosnian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zlatko Lagumdžija, made a statement on the latest escalation of tensions in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Trend reports with reference to the Lagumdžija’s official Twitter account.

“Ignoring 4 Security Council resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh for 3 decades is threatening regional and global peace. It is about restoring UN credibility as well as stopping the war and showing solidarity with people of Azerbaijan,” Lagumdžija said.

The Armenian armed forces committed a large-scale provocation, subjecting the positions of the Azerbaijani army to intensive shelling from large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery installations of various calibers in the front-line zone on Sept. 27 at 06:00 (GMT+4).

The command of the Azerbaijani Army decided to launch a counter-offensive operation of Azerbaijani troops along the entire front to suppress the combat activity of the Armenian armed forces and ensure the safety of the civilian population.

Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov said Sept. 27, 2020, that Garakhanbeyli, Garvend, Kend Horadiz, Yukhari Abdulrahmanli villages of Fizuli district, Boyuk Marjanli, and Nuzgar villages of Jabrayil district were liberated.

Moreover, the positions of the Armenian armed forces were destroyed in the direction of the Agdere district and Murovdag, important heights were taken under control.

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, 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 the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
