04 February 2016 [16:15] - TODAY.AZ

Azerbaijani Armed Forces have eliminated three members of the Armenian subversive group on the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan said Feb. 4.

A soldier of Azerbaijani Armed Forces Imran Mirzoyev was killed Feb. 3 at 17:50 (GMT + 4 hours) in the result of enemy sabotage on the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, the ministry said.

Azerbaijani Defense Ministry expresses its deep condolences to relatives and friends of the deceased.

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, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
