Over the past 24 hours, Armenia’s armed forces 47 times violated ceasefire on various parts of the contact line between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported on February 11.

The Armenian military, stationed in the village of Paravakar of Armenia’s Ijevan district, opened fire at the Azerbaijani armed forces’ positions on the nameless heights and the village of Kehneqishlaq of Azerbaijan’s Agstafa district.

The Armenians also violated ceasefire from the nameless heights in the Krasnoselsk district of Armenia, opening fire at the Azerbaijani military positions on the nameless heights and the Garavalilar village of Gadabay district.

The Azerbaijani military positions also came under fire from the positions near Qekarkh village of the Terter district, Shuraabad, Bash Gervend, Yusifjanli, Kengerli, Shikhlar, Qaraqashli, Novruzlu, Shirvanli villages of the Aghdam district, Kuropatkino village of the Khojavand district, Horadiz, Garakhanbayli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli, Ashagi Abdurrakhmanli villages of the Fizuli district and Mehdili village of Jabrayil district.

Aside from that, the Armenians also violated ceasefire from the positions on nameless heights in Goranboy, Khojavand and Fizuli districts.

The opposing side was silenced with return fire.

Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.

Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions. Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.
