Armenian militaries continue to violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan

Armenian armed forces have 20 times violated the ceasefire with Azerbaijan on the line of contact over the past 24 hours, said the message of Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry June 2.

Armenian army violated ceasefire from the positions near Chilaburt village of Azerbaijan's Terter district, Kuropatkino village of the Khojavand district, Horadiz village of the Fizuli district, as well as from the positions located on nameless heights in the Khojavand, Fizuli districts.

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.
