The situation on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Armenia has remained tense as the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire a total of 91 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defence Ministry reported on May 14.

The ceasefire was violated in Alibayli village of Tovuz region, nameless hills in Gedebey region, Goyarkh village in Tartar region, Sarijali, Shuraabad, Javahirli, Shikhlar, Shirvanli, Garagashli, Merzili villages in Aghdam region, Kuropatkino village in Khojavand region, Horadiz, Gorgan, Garakhanbeyli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages in Fuzuli region, Mehdili village in Jabrayil region, as well as nameless hills of Goranboy, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil regions.

The enemy was silenced with a retaliatory fire.

Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory was turned into a battlefield and zone of aggravated tensions after Armenia sent its troops to occupy Azerbaijan's lands in the early 1990s. As a result, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory stands under military occupation of Armenia.

Baku's diligence in view of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is well seen in the international arena, however it is yet to receive relevant feedbacks from Yerevan.

For the past two decades, and despite calls from the international community, Armenia has refused to withdraw its troops and retreat within its national borders. The OSCE has attempted to foster a peaceful resolution to this conflict amid Armenia's persistent derailments.
