United Nations A/69/815–S/2015/170 General Assembly Distr.: General 10 March 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 9 March 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 February 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. As a result, two Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and one was wounded. The Republic of Armenia violated the ceasefire 1,426 times. Azerbaijan strongly condemns the continuous attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and the deliberate targeting of the civilian population and civilian facilities. Azerbaijan will continue to take resolute measures against and respond adequately to Armenia’s ongoing aggression, violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. Peace and stability are contingent upon ending Armenia’s occupation of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As long as this occupation continues, human losses are inevitable on both sides, and the Republic of Armenia bears the full responsibility and should be held accountable. 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.
