Armenia continues to tense the situation along the frontline with new provocations. Besides constantly violating the ceasefire with Azerbaijan, the occupant forces deliberately set fire to Azerbaijani territories.

Thus, Armenians set fire to the occupied Boyuk Marjanli village of Azerbaijan’s Jabrayil region on Wednesday morning, APA reported.

The fire has spread across a larger area due to the windy weather.

The aggressors frequently commit arsons in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, particularly in summer, which also spread to villages located near the contact line of Armenian-Azerbaijani troops.

The Armenian side, committing provocations, deliberately seeks to cause harm to Azerbaijan and its people by making life at the border difficult and risky. Villages in Agdam, Fizuli, Jabrayil, Tartar and other Azerbaijani regions frequently face such destructive acts by Armenian soldiers.

For more than two decades Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under control over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.

Despite a fragile ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenia keeps violating armistice with Azerbaijan by regular provocations on the contact line of troops.
