Azerbaijan launches major military drills on frontline
BAKU – Azerbaijan’s armed forces on Wednesday launched large-scale military exercises on the frontline with Armenia.
Ground troops and air force personnel are engaged in the drills being held under Defense Minister, Col.-Gen. Safar Abiyev’s command, the Defense Ministry told AssA-Irada.
Azerbaijan faces a long-standing conflict with neighboring Armenia. The two countries waged a war in the early 1990s, which claimed some 30,000 lives and displaced about a million Azerbaijanis. OSCE-brokered peace talks have been largely fruitless so far and sporadic clashes on the frontline continue.
