Armenia violates ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian armed forces have broken ceasefire with Azerbaijan 40
times in numerous positions in the last 24 hours, the Azerbaijani
Defense Ministry reported on November 20.
Armenian armed forces, located near the villages of Shikhlar,
Sarijali, Garagashli, Yusifjanli of Aghdam district, Kuropatkino of
Khojavend, Horadiz, Garakhanbeyli, Gorgan, Ashagi Veyselli, Ashagi
Seyidahmadli, Ashagi Abdurrahmanli of Fizuli and Mehdili of
Jabrayil district, opened fire at Azerbaijani positions.
Azerbaijani positions also took fire from the positions located at
the nameless heights of Khojavend, Fizuli and Jabrayil
districts.
The opposing side 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 US are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
