General Assembly Security Council Seventieth Session Seventy-First Year Agenda Items 35 and 40 United Nations A/70/693–S/2016/62 General Assembly Distr.: General 22 January 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 21 January 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 violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia in November 2015 (see annex). During the reporting period, Armenia violated the ceasefire regime 2,504 times and continued the usage of large-calibre weapons, trench mortars, grenade launchers and other heavy weaponry from its positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from its own territory. As a result, soldier Elshan Ismayilov was killed and soldier Bahruz Nasibov was wounded. Continued occupation of a big portion of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia is the main obstacle to the settlement of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the only source of the escalation of the situation and the occurrence of hostilities. Azerbaijan will use its legitimate right to take appropriate measures to protect its population and territory from further hostile actions by the Republic of Armenia, the aggressor State, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. 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.

  • 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.

  • Armenian Crimes
    ARMENIAN CRIMES KHOJALY GENOCIDE Over the night of 25-26 February 1992, following massive artillery bombardment, the Armenian armed forces and paramilitary units, with the support of the former USSR’s 366th Motorized Infantry Regiment attacked an Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. Around 2,500 remaining inhabitants attempted to flee the town in order to reach Aghdam, the nearest city under Azerbaijani control. However, their hope was in vain. The Armenian forces and paramilitary units ambushed and slaughtered the fleeing civilians near the villages of Nakhchivanly and Pirjamal. Other civilians, including women and children were either captured by the Armenian soldiers or froze to death in the snowy forest. Only a few were able to reach Aghdam. 1 During the assault both former presidents of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharian, as well as other high-ranking officials (Zori Balayan, Vitaly Balasanyan and etc) of Armenia, participated personally in the Khojaly Genocide. Speaking to foreign journalists, Armenia’s leaders have admitted their participation and shown no remorse. 2 THE VICTIMS OF THE KHOJALY GENOCIDE • 613 people killed, including 63 children; 106 women; 70 elderly; • 8 families completely annihilated; • 25 children lost both parents; • 130 children lost one parent; • 487 wounded; • 1275 taken hostage; • 150 still missing. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 KHOJALY GENOCIDE IN INTERNATIONAL MEDIA The Khojaly tragedy was widely covered in the international media despite the information blockade and the large-scale Armenian propaganda effort. The world community could not close eyes to the gravity of this crime against humanity and cruelty of perpetrators. 12 13 14 15 16 17 THE JUSTICE FOR KHOJALY CAMPAIGN The Justice for Khojaly International Awareness Campaign was initiated in 2008 by Leyla Aliyeva, the Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

  • Reduced Human Suffering in Conflict-Affected Areas A
    I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY USAID Strategic Objective 3.1: Reduced Human Suffering in Conflict-Affected Areas A. OVERVIEW This Final Report covers the entire 96 months, from January 15, 1998 to January 14, 2006, of the Azerbaijan Humanitarian Assistance Program (AHAP) managed by Mercy Corps and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through an umbrella mechanism. The initial 24 months of programming under AHAP I (May 1998 through April 2000) provided health and nutrition services, shelter, economic opportunities, and information services. AHAP II programs (May 2000 through September 2005) addressed health, reproductive health, food, economic opportunities and social investment needs through community development and mobilization. During AHAP I, 16 programs operated throughout much of Azerbaijan, and during AHAP II the programming continued to reach much of the population in 23 regions in the country. In total, 18 subgrants operated in the four geographic areas of AHAP II: Southern area, Central area, Urban area and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR). From May of 2000, AHAP provided assistance to 2,923,281 direct recipients, 1,551,100 (53%) of which are women. (See AHAP I and AHAP II sections for maps indicating geographic coverage and implementing partners.) AHAP I addressed issues related to the displacement of people because of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It provided mud brick shelters for IDPs to replace their deplorable living conditions in public buildings and makeshift dwellings; addressed water and sanitation issues; delivered primary health care, food and health education to over 300,000 IDPs; began working with people on ways to improve the economic situation including micro-credit, agriculture and business training, and providing agricultural inputs such as seeds and seedlings.

  • A/72/148–S/2018/843 General Assembly Security Council
    United Nations A/72/148–S/2018/843 General Assembly Distr.: General Security Council 17 September 2018 Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventy-second session Seventy-third 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 11 September 2018 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 transmit herewith the records of violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia in June, July and August 2018 (see annexes I, II and III).* During the reporting periods, the armed forces of Armenia violated the ceasefire regime 2,701, 2,745 and 2,280 times, respectively, and continued to use large-calibre guns and heavy weaponry from their positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and in the territory of the Republic of Armenia. The continuous military occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan by the armed forces of Armenia, accompanied by ethnic cleansing and the displacement of more than 1 million Azerbaijanis, is the major impediment to peace, security and development in the region. A political solution to the conflict can only be reached after the complete and unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annexes circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 35 and 40, and of the Security Council.

    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 09/28/2020 4:52:04 PM From: Tavlarides, Mark <mtavlarides(a)bgrdc.com> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 4:39 PM To: Tavlarides, Mark <mtavlarides(q>bgrdc.com> Subject: Azerbaijan Update Good afternoon, I wanted to bring to your attention a press release from the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the recent attacks by Armenia on Azerbaijani civilians. It can be found here. Since yesterday, September 27, Armenia has launched a large-scale provocation against Azerbaijan, targeting residential areas and the armed forces of Azerbaijan. As a result of massive shelling of Azerbaijani villages, 8 civilians were killed and many more injured. The Azerbaijani Army, using the right of self-defense and in order to protect civilians, reacted through counter-offensive measures. Azerbaijan's operations are conducted within its internationally recognized sovereign territories, and Azerbaijan is abiding by its commitments under international humanitarian law. Azerbaijan has long expressed warnings that it expects larger military provocations by Armenia at any time. Open provocations by the Armenian leadership, especially by Prime Minister Pashinyan; recent intensified reconnaissance; and sabotage activities by Armenia, including using tactical drones against Azerbaijani positions, demonstrate that Armenia was preparing to launch another attack. Armenia has violated all the norms and principles of international law by occupying internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan, which was condemned by four UN Security Council Resolutions. Against this background, please see attached for relevant information on the latest developments, including the list of Armenian provocations for the last 2 years. Please let me know if you have any questions.
