Armenian soldier killed on contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops
A serviceman of the Armenian armed forces was killed on the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, Mediamax reported Apr. 8.

Reportedly, the killed soldier is the 20-year-old Levon Mirzoyan.

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 two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
