Armenian militaries continue to violate 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 86 times throughout the day, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry reported on October 19.
Azerbaijani positions underwent fire from the positions located in the villages of Tapgaragoyunlu, Gulustan, Talish of Goranboy district, Giziloba of Terter, Kengerli, Sarijali, Shuraabad, Merzili, Novruzlu, Javahirli, Garagashli, Shikhlar, Jusifjanli of Aghdam, Kuropatkino of Khojavend, Goradiz, Garakhanbayli, Gorgan, Ashagi Abdurrahmanli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli of Fizuli and Mehdili of Jabrayil district.

Azerbaijani Armed Forces inflicted 86 blows on points, positions and trenches of the enemy.
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 the UN Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
