As a result of the operation carried out by the State Security Service, the forest and two villages - Kohne Taglar and Chaylaggala - were taken under control by armed Armenians who carried out a terrorist operation against our army.

Axar.az informs that this was reported by the Armenian media. It is reported that the Kohne Taglar are fully under the control of the SSS, and Chaylaggala is partially under the control of the SSS.

Negotiations are underway with the mediation of Russian peacekeepers. It should be noted that the DTC and the Interior Ministry issued a joint statement on the incident.

It is reported that some Armenian armed forces remained in the forest area in the north-western part of the Hadrut settlement of the Khojavend region. The Armenian side appealed to the command of the peacekeeping forces of the Russian Federation to expel them from the territory.

Azerbaijan has created all conditions for the withdrawal of these Armenian armed groups from the territory. The servicemen of the Russian peacekeeping forces arrived in the area in severe weather conditions and appealed to the Armenian armed groups in the forest area with loudspeakers and said that necessary measures were taken to evacuate them from the area.

However, these Armenian armed groups did not leave the area, on the contrary, they created battle positions and in recent days committed acts of terrorism and sabotage against Azerbaijani civilians and servicemen in the area. Thus, on November 26, 2020, in the village of Sur, Khojavend region, which was liberated from occupation, 3 servicemen were killed and 2 were wounded as a result of a sudden attack by Armenians on the Defense Ministry's servicemen in the area. One serviceman was killed and an Azercell employee was seriously injured during the installation of facilities and transmission equipment.

Taking this into account, the State Security Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan carried out an anti-terrorist operation in the area. "
