Armenian troops breach ceasefire with Azerbaijan
The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire a total of 66 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defence Ministry reported on April 29.
The ceasefire was violated in nameless hills in Gadabay region, Talish, Gulustan villages in Goranboy region, Chileburt, Goyarkh, Chayli villages in Tartar region, Shuraabad, Shikhlar, Javahirli, Sarijali, Yusifjanli villages in Aghdam region, Kuropatkino village in Khojavand region, Horadiz, Garakhanbeyli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages in Fuzuli region, Mehdili village in Jabrayil region, as well as nameless hills in Goranboy, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil regions.
The Armenians were silenced with a retaliatory fire.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was sparked after Armenian troops invaded large swathes of land in Azerbaijan in the early 1990s. Following bloody skirmishes, Armenia armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized and historical territory. The conflict has yet to be resolved since Armenia has systematically refused to abide by international calls to withdraw from the Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other adjacent regions.
