The Armenian armed units shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan a total of 28 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported on October 13.

Armenian armed forces, stationed in Armenia`s Paravakar village in Ijevan region and nameless hills of Krasnoselsk region subjected to fire the positions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces located in Kohnegishlag village in Agstafa region and nameless hills in Gadabay region.

The ceasefire was also violated near the Goyarkh and Chilaburt villages in Tartar region, Bash Garvand village in Agdam region , Horadiz and Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages in Fuzuli region , Kuropatkino village in Khojavand region, as well as nameless hills in Goronboy, Jabrayil and Fuzuli regions.

Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities.

Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.

Despite a ceasefire agreement achieved between the sides, Armenia regularly shells the Azerbaijani positions in an effort to tense the situation. Ignoring the calls of Azerbaijani side, as well as the international community to follow the armistice, Armenia continues its destructive actions hereby showing its disrespect to the peace process.
