General Assembly Security Council Seventy-Third Session Seventy-Fourth Year Agenda Items 35 and 41 United Nations A/73/781–S/2019/209 General Assembly Distr.: General 5 March 2019 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventy-third session Seventy-fourth year Agenda items 35 and 41 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 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 Armenia 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.

As a result, one serviceman of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan was wounded during two months. 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 in the settlement of the conflict and the only source of the escalation of the situation on the frontline and the occurrence of hostilities and casualties.

  • COJEP Int. Report Azerbaidjan Armenia 2020
    New military clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan REPORT On the civilian casualties and destructions caused by attacks of Armenia on densely populated areas of Azerbaijan between 27 September – 28 October 2020 28 October 2020 October 2020 COJEP INTERNATIONAL INTRODUCTION Background The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is one of the longest-standing protracted conflicts in the region, which has been going on for nearly 3 decades. As a result of this, the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and 7 adjacent districts of Azerbaijan, namely Lachin, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan, were occupied by Armenia. The conflict affected the lives of over a million of Azerbaijanis who lived in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 adjacent districts of Azerbaijan, causing a number of social, economic and humanitarian problems. The above-mentioned 7 districts are not a part of the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The total area of Nagorno-Karabakh region is 4400 km2, while the total area of 7 districts is almost 3 times larger (11.000 km2). More than 90% of the total number of IDPs (which is more than 1 million) represent those 7 districts. It should also be mentioned that the number of Azerbaijani people forced to leave the Nagorno-Karabakh region is now 86 thousand people. It is the attention capturing fact, that the number of IDPs only from Aghdam (191.700 people) is larger than of the Nagorno-Karabakh region (the overall number of Armenians, Azerbaijanis and other nationalities populating this territory before the conflict was 189.085 people). So, the population of 7 districts is almost 5 times more than of Nagorno- Karabakh itself.
