Armenia continues violating ceasefire
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said subunits of the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan in Kokhanebi village of Tovuz region, Garakhanbayli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages of Fuzuli region, Shikhlar, Kangarli, Yusifjanli villages of Agdam region, Mehdili village of Jabrayil region and nameless hills of Kuropatkino village of Khojavend region on the night of March 5-6.
The Armenians were silenced with a retail fire, the Defense 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. Long-standing efforts by US, Russian, and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.
As a result of Armenia's military aggression, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 were reported missing, almost 100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.
The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
