Armenian troops breach ceasefire with Azerbaijan

Armenian armed units shattered ceasefire a total of 12 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry said.

The ceasefire was also violated in Chilaburt village in Tartar region, Horadiz village in Fuzuli region, Mehdili village in Jabrayil region, as well as nameless hills in Goranboy region.

Azerbaijan and Armenia for over two decades have been locked in conflict, which emerged over Armenian territorial claims. Since the 1990s war, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions. The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal, but they have not been enforced to this day.
