Armenia violates ceasefire with Azerbaijan
By Trend
Over the past 24 hours, Armenia’s armed forces have 148 times
violated the ceasefire along the line of contact between
Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry
said Sept. 16.
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.
