Meanwhile, the Armenian government’s Unified Information Center of Armenia announced on Monday that 31 soldiers from the unrecognized republic of Nagorno-Karabakh have been killed in fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh since 27 September.
On September 27, Baku announced an intense bombardment of Armenian army positions by Armenia. In turn, Yerevan announced an offensive by the Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of Nagorno-Karabakh and the bombing of settlements by the unrecognized republic, including its administrative center Stepanakert. Both parties reported deaths and injuries, including civilians. The Armenian authorities have imposed martial law and announced the mobilization of reservists. Azerbaijan has also decided to impose martial law throughout the country.
Baku and Yerevan have disputed Nagorno-Karabakh’s affiliation since February 1988, when the region announced its secession from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. During the 1992-1994 armed conflict, Azerbaijan lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions.
