Armenia has announced its readiness to sign a surrender
agreement with Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
After the liberation of Shusha city there was no other way out
for Armenia but to accept the demands of President Ilham Aliyev and
surrender.
The liberation of the city of Shusha by the Azerbaijani army
decided the outcome of the war that began on September 27.
The subsequent liberation of 72 settlements and 8 strategic
heights within one day forced the Armenian side to raise a white
flag.
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.
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.
