By Trend
As a result of another attack of the Azerbaijani civilians by the Armenian Armed Forces, four people were killed and 10 people were wounded in Azerbaijan’s Barda district, Trend's regional correspondent reported on Oct. 27.
Among the dead is eight-year-old Aysu Iskandarova.
There are also children among the wounded.
Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on
positions of Azerbaijani army on the front line, using
large-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery on Sept. 27.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire
front. Currently, Azerbaijan continues the liberation of its
territories from Armenian troops.
Back in July 2020, Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire in
the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a result of
Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were silenced. The
fighting continued the following days as well. Azerbaijan lost a
number of military personnel members, who died fighting off the
attacks of the Armenian Armed Forces.
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.
