Armenian militaries continue to violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian armed forces have nine times violated the ceasefire with Azerbaijan on the line of contact over the past 24 hours, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry reported on June 29.
Azerbaijani positions underwent fire from the positions located near Kuropatkino village of the Khojavand district, Qorqan, Horadiz, Ashagi Seyidahmadli and Qarakhanbayli villages of the Fizuli district.
Azerbaijani positions also underwent fire from the nameless heights of the Goranboy district.
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.
