Armenia continues to violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian armed forces have 12 times violated the ceasefire with Azerbaijan on the line of contact over the past 24 hours, said Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry July 10.
Armenian armed forces, stationed in the Dovekh village of Armenia’s Noyemberyan district opened fire at Azerbaijani positions located in the Kemerli village of the Gazakh district.
Moreover, Azerbaijani positions underwent fire from the positions located near the Ashagi Seyidahmadli village of the Fizuli district and on nameless heights of the Goranboy 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.
