Azerbaijani army has tactical, fire, territorial advantage over Armenian Armed Forces -MoD
By Trend
The information disseminated by the Armenian side about the allegedly destroyed three tanks of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the southern sector of the front is completely false, Trend reports citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.
“In the Khojavand direction of the front, the Azerbaijani army has a tactical, fire, and territorial advantage over the Armenian Armed Forces. Since the Armenian Armed Forces are morally and psychologically suppressed, they are forced to disseminate such unfounded news in the media,” the ministry said.
Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of the 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. As a result of retaliation, Azerbaijani troops liberated a number of territories previously occupied by Armenia, as well as take important, strategic heights under control.
The fighting continued into October 2020, in the early days of which Armenia has launched missile attacks on Azerbaijani cities of Ganja, Mingachevir, Khizi as well as Absheron district.
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, the 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.
