Azeri soldier wounded in Armenian attack
BAKU – An Azerbaijani soldier was severely wounded in an attack by the Armenian troops on Thursday morning.
The 20-year-old private Ulvi Huseynov suffered gunshot wounds to his arm and chest during the shooting, which occurred in the frontline Aghdam region, and is currently in severe condition, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said.
Azerbaijan has been involved in a bitter dispute with neighboring Armenia over Nagorno Karabakh for two decades. Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory since a war in the early 1990s. The ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but efforts by international mediators have been largely fruitless so far, and sporadic clashes on the frontline continue.
