Moreover, the Azerbaijani army positions were also shelled from the Armenian positions located near the Armenian-occupied Shikhlar, Javahirli, Shuraabad villages of the Aghdam district, Horadiz, Garakhanbeyli villages of Fuzuli region, Mehdili village of Jabrail region as well as on nameless heights of the Goranboy, Tartar, fuzuli and Jabrail districts.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
