Armenians again break ceasefire in several directions
The ceasefire was again violated on the border between the Azerbaijani and Armenian armies, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported.
Armenian Armed Forces opened fire at positions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from positions near the occupied villages of Tapgaragoyunlu of Goranboy region, Merzili of Aghdam region, Asagi Abdulrahmanli of Fizuli region and Gekarh of Tartar region, as well as from the positions in the nameless heights in the Khojavend region.
The shooting was countered by return fire.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million displaces as a result of the war.
Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the US have produced no results so far.
