Letter dated 27 February 2019 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 in January 2019 (see annex).* During the reporting period, the armed forces of Armenia violated the ceasefire regime 804 times, continuing to use large-calibre guns and heavy weaponry from their positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from the territory of the Republic of Armenia. As a result, one serviceman of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan was wounded during the month. The military occupation of the territory of Azerbaijan does not represent a solution and will never produce a political outcome desired by Armenia. The resolution of the conflict is possible only on the basis of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders. 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 41, and of the Security Council.

(Signed) Yashar Aliyev Ambassador Permanent Representative
