Armenian ceasefire breaches keep tension high on frontline
The Armenian armed forces opened fire at positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces from the positions located nearby occupied villages of Shikhlar in Agdam region, Horadiz, Gorgan, Ashagi Veyselli of Fizuli region, Kuropatkino of Khojavend region and Tapgaragoyunlu of Goranboy region, as well as from nameless heights of Khojavend region, on Sept.8-9, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry reported.
The Defense Ministry reported that the shooting was countered by return fire.
The precarious cease-fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia was reached after a lengthy war that displaced over a million Azerbaijanis and has been in place between the two South Caucasus countries since 1994. Since the hostilities, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenia's withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
