The Armenian Defense Ministry called inappropriate to discuss changes in the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh after the April fighting, during which Azerbaijani Military Forces managed to liberate a number of settlements.
"It is not about secrecy, as we provided all the information, but it is not allowed to discuss such issues in detail issues, as military actions continue," Novosti-Armenia cites the Ministry's press-secretary of Artsrun Hovannisian as saying.
Recall, on the night of April 2 all frontier positions of Azerbaijan were exposed to heavy fire from large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. In addition, Azerbaijani settlements near the front line, densely populated by civilians, were shelled.
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% 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 withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
