The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian armed forces shattered ceasefire a total of 125 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported on February 2.

The ceasefire was violated in nameless hills in Gazakh, Gadabay regions, Kohnagishlag village in Agstafa region, Kokhanabi, Alibayli villages in Tovuz region, Talish, Gulustan villages in Goranboy region, Goyarkh, Chilaburt, Yarimja, Chayli villages in Tartar region Shikhlar, Novruzlu, Javahirli, Kangarli, Sarijali, Shuraabad, Yusifjanli, Namirli villages in Aghdam region, Kuropatkino village in Khojavand region, Horadiz, Garakhanbayli, Gorgan, Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages in Fuzuli region, Mehdili village of Jabrayil region, as well as in Goygol, Goranboy, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil regions.

The enemy was silenced with a retaliatory fire.

Back in 1992, following a violent and bloody conflict, Armenia occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts plunging the South Caucasus region into a protracted conflict.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has yet to comply with UN Security Council resolutions calling for the liberation of all occupied territories.
