The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire a total of 51 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported.

The ceasefire was violated in Kamarli, Gaymagli, Farahli, Gizilhajili and Jafarli villages of Gazakh region, Chilaburt, Chayli and Gizil Oba villages of Tartar region, Tap Garagoyunlu village of Goranboy region, Yusifjanli, Javahirli, Shikhlar, Shuraabad, Kangarli, Garagashli and Bash Garvand villages of Agdam region, as well as nameless hills of Goranboy, Khojavand and Fuzuli regions.

The Armenians were silenced with a retaliatory fire.

The bloody war, which flared up in the late 1980s due to Armenia's territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor displaced 700,000 civilians of Nagorno-Karabakh and the regions adjoining it, as well as the regions bordering with Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh without homes. They are temporarily settled in more than 1,600 settlements across 62 cities and regions of Azerbaijan.

As a result of the military aggression of Armenia, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing, almost 100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.

Peace talks brokered by mediators from Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.

The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
