Armenian troops violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian armed forces have 30 times violated the ceasefire with Azerbaijan on the line of contact over the past 24 hours, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry reported on June 10.
Armenian armed forces were using heavy machine guns.
Armenian armed forces, stationed in Mosesgeh village of Armenia's Berd district, opened fire at Azerbaijani positions located in the village of Alibeyli of Tovuz district.
Moreover, Azerbaijani positions were shelled from the positions located near the village of Goyarkh of Terter district, Yusifjanli of Aghdam, Kuropatkino of Khojavend, Horadiz and Ashagi Seyidahmadli of Fizuli district.
Further on, Azerbaijani positions took fire from the positions located on the nameless heights of Goranboy, Khojavend and 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.
