The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia
has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire
a total of 37 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defence
Ministry said.
The ceasefire was violated in Kemerli village of Gazakh region,
Talish village of Goranboy region, Chilaburt, Goyarkh, Chayli
villages of Tartar region, Shuraabad, Javahirli, Sarijali,
Shikhlar, Yusifjanli villages of Agdam region, Ashagi Seyidahmadli,
Gorgan villages of Fuzuli region, Mehdili village of Jabrayil
region, nameless hills of Goranboy, Khojavand and Fuzuli
regions.
The Armenians were silenced with a retaliatory fire, AzerTac state
news agency reported.
Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory was turned into a battlefield and zone of aggravated tensions after Armenia sent its troops to occupy Azerbaijan's lands in the early 1990s. As a result, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory stands under military occupation of Armenia.
For the past two decades, and despite calls from the international community, Armenia has refused to withdraw its troops and retreat within its national borders.
