Over the past 24 hours, Armenian armed forces have violated the
ceasefire along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and
Armenian troops 21 times, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said
April 11, Trend reports.
The Armenian armed forces were using heavy machine guns.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council
resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the
Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
