Armenia breach ceasefire with Azerbaijan
The situation on the line of contact between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire 49 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defence Ministry reported.
The ceasefire was violated in Garakhanbayli, Ashagi Veyselli, Ashagi Abdurrahmanli, Horadiz villages of Fuzuli region, Marzili, Yusifjanli villages of Agdam region and nameless hills of Khojavand region on February 9-10.
The Armenians were silenced with a retail fire, the Defence Ministry said.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s.
The UN Security Council's four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal have not been enforced to this day.
Peace talks, mediated by Russia, France and the US and the OSCE Minsk Group are underway on the basis of a peaceful outline -called Madrid Principle -proposed by the Minsk Group co-chairs. The negotiations have been largely fruitless so far.
