Armenian armed forces open fire at Azerbaijani soldiers

The armed forces of Armenia once again violated ceasefire with Azerbaijan, according to a message from Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry.

Over the past 24 hours, Azerbaijani soldiers underwent fire from the positions located in the villages of Horadiz, Ashagi Seyidahmadli, Ashagi Veysalli of the Fizuli region, the villages of Yusifjanli, Marzili, Shikhlar of the Aghdam region, and the Kuropatkino village of the Khojavend region.

The Armenian side was silenced with return fire.

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.

As a result of the military aggression of Armenia, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing and 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.
