Azerbaijan Armed Forces’ units have destroyed a protected command-and-observation post, as well as optical devices on an observation tower of Armenian Armed Forces on the contact line of the troops, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported on June 1.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.
Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal. Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. within the OSCE Minsk Group have produced no results so far.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, Armenia keeps constantly violating armistice with Azerbaijan.
