Arsons committed by Armenians in Agdam spread to frontline settlements
By Rashid Shirinov
Armenian Armed Forces continue to deliberately set fires within occupied Azerbaijani territories over the last several days.
The arsons, which were originally set in occupied part of Azerbaijan’s Aghdam region, had spread to th Chiragli village located near the contact line of Armenian-Azerbaijani troops.
Although the fire was extinguished, pastures and trees around the Chiragli village burned down. A chocking haze of smoke and ash covered the village. Wild animals and snakes resorted to settlement during the fire.
The Armenians frequently commit arsons in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, particularly in summer, which also spread to frontline settlements.
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.
