Azerbaijan, Fizuli / corr Trend S.Jaliloglu / The Azerbaijani
Parliament informs the international organizations about violation of
the ceasefire regime in the frontal zone by the Armenian armed forces,
Bahar Muradova, the Vice Speaker of the Azerbaijan Parliament, said
in an opening ceremony of a new secondary school in Ashagi Bahmanli
village of Fizuli District.
She noted that the Armenian armed divisions also commit arsons in
the occupied territory of Azerbaijan.
As a result of ceasefire violation the soldiers of the Azerbaijani
National Army, as ell as civilians, are killed and injured.
Muradova said that the parliament presents to international
organizations wide and fair information in this connection.
Ashagi Bahmanli village of Fizuli District of Azerbaijan was occupied
by the Armenian armed divisions in 1993. After 4 months the Azerbaijani
army liberated the village from the Armenian occupation.
Due to permanent firing the school in the village was unfit for
use. Last year, at the initiative of the Education Ministry a new
school constructed in the village.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in 1988
due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since 1992, these
territories have been under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time
the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group
(Russia, France and USA) are currently holding peaceful negotiations.
