The Report on Human Rights Violations Committed by the
Armenian Armed Forces during Azerbaijan & Armenia War 17

be introduced, to start the negotiations on the eventual status of Nagorno-
Karabakh, a peace keeping force should be sent to the region by OSCE. However,
Armenia did not accept these proposals. In 2011 both sides came together in
Kazan to discuss the renewed Madrid Principles. No agreement was reached yet
again. On the other hand, as a continuation of the resolution 62/243 accepted in
the General Assembly of the UN on March 14, 2008, referring to the relating four
resolutions of the Security Council of the UN, it was stressed that the situation in
Nagorno-Karabakh region continues threatening international peace and security
and “reaffirmed continued respect and support for the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders”.
Furthermore, it was demanded that all Armenian forces should “fully, immediately
and unconditionally” withdraw from all the occupied territories of the Republic of
Azerbaijan.

Despite all efforts to end the conflict between the two countries, these efforts
yielded no fruitful result, and finally two parties declared war again between April
2-5, 2016, which was named “Four Day War”. During this war, both sides had
losses and the conflict was brought to an end with the mediation of Russia. Lastly,
with attacks of Armenia, clashes started once again on the 27 of September
th
2020. This time the intensity of conflict was much higher that it resulted in the
increase of losses.

Negotiations on solving the Karabakh problem has been continuing since 1994
by OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by USA, France and Russia. Unfortunately,
ending the conflict is yet to be achieved.
