阿塞拜疆Vs亚美尼亚:冲突再起

A decades-long dispute over territory in the southern Caucasus has led to open hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia this past week.

过去一周里,在南高加索地区长达数十年的领土争端导致阿塞拜疆和亚美尼亚再次公开敌对。

Azerbaijan's second-largest city, Ganja, came under attack Sunday, with government officials saying Armenia had launched missiles into residential areas.

阿塞拜疆第二大城市甘加星期天遭到袭击,政府官员说,亚美尼亚向居民区发射了导弹。

Armenia has denied the charges; the leader of the territory at the center of the dispute said his forces were responsible for the attack.

亚美尼亚否认了这些指控;处于争议中心地区的领导人表示,他的部队应对此次袭击负责。

Azerbaijani officials said one civilian was killed in the attack, and 32 more were injured.

阿塞拜疆官员说,一名平民在袭击中丧生,另有32人受伤。

"Opening fire on the territory of Azerbaijan from the territory of Armenia is clearly provocative and expands the zone of hostilities," Azerbaijani Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov said in a statement, the Associated Press reported.

据美联社报道,阿塞拜疆国防部长扎基尔·哈扎诺夫在一份声明中说:“从亚美尼亚领土向阿塞拜疆领土开火显然是挑衅行为,并扩大了敌对区域。”

The "insane Political-military leadership of Armenia" is a threat to regional peace and security, Hikmet Hajiyev, an aide to Azerbaijan's president, wrote on Twitter.

亚美尼亚的“疯狂的政治军事领导”是对地区和平与安全的威胁,”希克哈吉耶夫,阿塞拜疆总统助手在推特上写道。

"Azerbaijan retains its right to take adequate measures against legitimate military targets to defend civilians," he added.

“阿塞拜疆将保留对合法军事目标采取适当措施以保护平民的权利,”他补充说。

Armenia denied the charges.

亚美尼亚则否认了这些指控。

"No fire of any kind is being opened from the territory of Armenia in Azerbaijan's direction," the nation's defense ministry said.

“亚美尼亚境内没有向阿塞拜疆方向开火,”该国国防部说道。

The hostilities have to do with the disputed territory of the Nagorno-Karabakh, known locally as Artsakh, which the two former Soviet republics have competing claims to.

双方的敌对行动与纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫有争议的领土有关,这两个前苏联加盟共和国都声称对该地区拥有主权。

The territory itself is closely allied with Armenia.

该领土本身是亚美尼亚的密切盟友。

The fighting has engaged allies in the region, including Turkey, which has pledged its unwavering support of Azerbaijan, which is ethnically Turkish.

这场战争也波及了该地区的盟友,其中包括土耳其,土耳其已承诺坚定不移地支持阿塞拜疆,而阿塞拜疆本身就是土耳其裔民族。

Nagorno-Karabakh's leader said his forces were responsible for the missiles.

纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫领导人说,他的部队应对导弹负责。

"As act of self-protection, in response to days long deliberate shelling" with "prohibited cluster munitions ... I ordered to bombard Ganja military facilities," Arayik Harutyunyan said on Twitter.

“出于自卫,以回应数天来对方用被禁止的集束弹药进行的蓄意炮击……我下令轰炸占贾的军事设施,”艾瑞伊克·哈鲁吞岩在推特上说道。

Harutyunyan said he had later given an order to stand down, "to avoid loss among civilians."

哈鲁吞岩说,他后来下令停火,“以避免平民伤亡”。

But he promised a "commensurate response" against military targets should Azerbaijan continue its aggression.

但他承诺,如果阿塞拜疆继续侵略,美国将对其军事目标做出“相称的回应”。
