Armenia 14 times breaks ceasefire with Azerbaijan in 24 hours
By Trend
Armenia’s armed forces have 14 times violated the ceasefire on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops over the past 24 hours, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported on September 15.
The Armenian armed forces stationed in Vazashen village of the Ijevan district and on the nameless heights of Berd district opened fire at the Azerbaijani positions located on the nameless heights of the Gazakh and Tovuz districts.
Positions of the Azerbaijani army also underwent fire from the Armenian positions located near Marzili village of Azerbaijani Aghdam district, Kuropatkino village of the Khojavand district and the nameless heights of the Goranboy, Khojavand and Fizuli districts.
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 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
