Azerbaijani student was injured as a result of a ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed units on February 15, 2016.

17-years-old Joshgun Mammadov received two gunshot wounds in his arm and leg, the Agdam District Central Hospital reported. He is currently being treated in the hospital. The health state of the injured student is normal.

It is not the first time when the Armenian side targets the civilians. Last time, three residents of Azerbaijan’s Terter region have been injured as a result of ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed forces.

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 withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts
