Azeri soldier wounded in ceasefire breach
BAKU – An Azerbaijani soldier was wounded in a ceasefire violation by Armenian troops on Monday.
Agha Huseynov, 20, was shot in the back near Azerbaijan’s Fuzuli region, the Defense Ministry told AssA-Irada. The serviceman is in satisfactory condition.
The two South Caucasus republics waged a war in the early 1990s. Armenia has been occupying over 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territory since then. A ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but OSCE-brokered peace talks have been largely fruitless so far, and sporadic clashes on the frontline continue.
