A/69/936–S/2015/431 General Assembly Security Council United Nations A/69/936–S/2015/431 General Assembly Distr.: General 16 June 2015 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-ninth session Seventieth year Agenda items 33 and 38 Protracted conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international peace, security and development The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan Letter dated 11 June 2015 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General Upon instructions from my Government, I have the honour to draw your attention to ongoing violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia recorded for May 2015 (see annex). During this period, the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from the territory of the Republic of Armenia on the positions of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan. During the reported period, two Azerbaijani servicemen were wounded. Azerbaijan strongly condemns the incessant attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and its continued and deliberate attacks on populated areas and civilian objects. Azerbaijan reserves its legitimate right to take appropriate measures to protect its population from the aggressor and to respond to the ongo ing violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 33 and 38, and of the Security Council.

  • War in Nagorno-Karabakh: Shadow of Big Ottoman Brother Covers Azerbaijan
    Video: War in Nagorno-Karabakh: Shadow of Big Ottoman Brother Covers Azerbaijan By South Front Region: Asia, Europe Global Research, November 06, 2020 Theme: Intelligence, Militarization and South Front 5 November 2020 WMD The Turkish military continues to demonstrate its non-involvement in the war with Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. On November 4, the heroic defense ministry of Turkey announced that Azerbaijani forces had shot down one more Armenian Su-25 warplane in the conflict zone. Thus, the claimed number of downed Armenian warplanes has reached seven. The only issue is that Azerbaijan itself did not claim such an incident, when the Turkish defense ministry made its statement. So, it seems that Ankara knows much more than do the Azerbaijani forces themselves, who are allegedly alone in their fight against the mighty Armenian aggressors. Meanwhile, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev undertook another Twitter advance announcing the capture of the villages of Mirak and Kavdar in the Jabrayil district, Mashadiismayilli and Shafibayli in the Zangilan district, and Basharat, Garakishilar and Garajalli in the Gubadli district. The Azerbaijani military also reported clashes in the district of Adhere. In the last 48 hours, according to Azerbaijan, Armenian forces suffered multiple casualties and lost over two dozen equipment pieces. Fortified positions and settlements controlled by Armenian forces in the central and northern parts of Nagorno-Karabakh are regularly being targeted with air and artillery strikes by Azerbaijani forces. The most intense strikes hit the areas of Shusha and the Lachin corridor. https://southfront.org/wp-content/uploads/video/05.11.20_IMR_Armenia.mp4 Armenian officials kept apace with their Azerbaijani counterparts and also made several victorious statements.

    United Nations A/70/1034–S/2016/767 General Assembly Distr.: General 8 September 2016 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventieth session Seventy-first year Agenda items 35 and 40 Protracted conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international peace, security and development The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan Letter dated 6 September 2016 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General Upon instructions from my Government, I have the honour to convey herewith the records of the violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia in July 2016 (see annex).* During the period in question, Armenia violated the ceasefire regime 345 times and continued the usage of large-calibre guns and heavy weaponry from its positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from its own territory. The continuous occupation of a large part of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the armed forces of Armenia remains the main obstacle to the settlement of the conflict and the only source of the escalation of the situation on the front line and of occurrences of hostilities and casualties. The sooner the Republic of Armenia withdraws its troops from the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the sooner peace and stability can be restored in the region. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 35 and 40, and of the Security Council.

  • Analysis Selection for JCC September 2020
    Analysis selection for JCC September 2020 Armenia-Azerbaijan military escalation 1 Oct 2020 - Country Risk | Strategic Report Early in the morning (local time) on 27 September, fighting broke out along the Line of Contact (LoC) separating Azerbaijan proper from the Armenian-controlled breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven adjacent districts of Azerbaijan, which are occupied by the Armenian forces. • The scale of hostilities is larger than during the skirmishes at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border in July and the controlled escalation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone in April 2016. The use of artillery, mortars, tanks and UAVs has been documented by both sides. Notably, the Armenian Defence Ministry Confidential | Copyright © 2020 IHS Markit Ltd Analysis selection for JCC - September 2020 claims that the Azeri armed forces employed Soviet-era Smerch, Turkish Kasirga and Belarusian Polonez multiple rocket launch systems, which indicate a significant escalation and the indiscriminatory nature of the assault. On 30 September, the Armenian authorities stated that on 29 September, a Turkish F-16 fighter jet allegedly shot down an Armenian Su-25 aircraft in the Armenian airspace above Gegharkunik province. This information was accompanied by the release of the photo evidence showing the wreckage of the plane and the identity of the pilot, Armenian Air Force Major Valeriy Danilin. If true, this would represent a significant further escalation, indicating spillover of combat into Armenia proper. However, both Azerbaijan and Turkey denied these allegations while, as of 1 October 2020, the Armenian side has yet to produce more evidence, including fragments of air-to-air missile (AIM-120 AMRAAM) that purportedly downed the Armenian aircraft.
