Armenian militaries breach ceasefire 89 times throughout the day

The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire a total of 89 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported.

Armenian armed forces, located in Armenia's Berkaber village and nameless hills of Ijevan region, Voskevan village of Noyemberyan region subjected to fire the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces located in Gizilhajili, Gushchu Ayrim villages and nameless hills of Gazakh region.

The ceasefire was violated in Talish village in Goranboy region, Chilaburt, Yarimja villages in Tartar region, Shikhlar, Javahirli, Kangarli, Sarijali, Novruzlu, Shuraabad, Garagashli, Marzali, Yusifjanli villages in Aghdam region, Kuropatkino village in Khojavand region, Horadiz, Garakhanbayli, Gorgan, Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages in Fuzuli region, Mehdili villages of Jabrayil region, as well as nameless hills in Goygol, Goranboy, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil regions.

In view of the operational situation, Azerbaijani armed forces carried out 95 strikes on enemy positions.

For over two decades, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in conflict that emerged over Armenia's territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, the Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions.

A fragile ceasefire has been in place since 1994, but long-standing efforts by U.S., Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
