Armenian troops violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian armed forces have once again violated ceasefire with
Azerbaijan over the last 24 hours, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry
reported on October 9.
Azerbaijani positions took fire from the positions located near the
village of Garagashli of Aghdam district and at the nameless
heights of Goranboy district, the ministry said.
The enemy was silenced with return fire.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four U.N. Security Council
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
