Azerbaijan recalls its ambassador from Greece for consultations

By Trend

Azerbaijan informed the Greek Foreign Ministry about reports on the arrival of Armenian-born citizens of different countries, including Greece, to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan for participation in the ongoing hostilities, the ministry told Trend on Oct.8.

According to the ministry, in this context, an appeal was sent to the Greek side to conduct the respective investigation and provide information on its results.

In connection with the decision of the Greek side to recall its ambassador for the consultations, the Azerbaijani ambassador to Greece was also recalled to Baku for consultations.

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, 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.
