As a result of hostilities on the line of contact
between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops from April 2 to 5, the Armenian side
suffered heavier losses than it has announced previously.
APA reports with reference to the Armenian media
and social networks that about 322 Armenian servicemen were killed, more than
500 wounded and 50 others reported missing after the recent clashes on the
contact line.
In order to conceal the number of casualties, the Armenian side listed some dead soldiers as “missing”. In fact, most of the dead have been buried and the other part in declared non-combat losses.
The Armenian side had once reported the above mentioned information on the number of its casualties, after a while it was deleted from the websites.
There is evidence that the names of some Armenian soldiers, who deserted from the battlefield and fled to Iran, are listed as missing.
Most of the dead soldiers reported ‘missing’ was buried covertly, and the rest of them are being kept in morgues.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict entered its modern phase when the Armenian SRR made territorial claims against the Azerbaijani SSR in 1988.
A fierce war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. As a result of the war, Armenian armed forces occupied some 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory which includes Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts (Lachin, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan), and over a million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced people.
The military operations finally came to an end when Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in Bishkek in 1994.
Dealing with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the OSCE Minsk Group, which was created after the meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Helsinki on 24 March 1992. The Group’s members include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia, the United States, France, Poland, Germany, Turkey, Belarus, Finland and Sweden.
Besides, the OSCE Minsk Group has a co-chairmanship institution, comprised of Russian, US and French co-chairs, which began operating in 1996.
Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 of the UN Security Council, which were passed in short intervals in 1993, and other resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly, PACE, OSCE, OIC, and other organizations require Armenia to unconditionally withdraw its troops from Nagorno-Karabakh.
