Over the past 24 hours, Armenian military 93 times violated ceasefire on various parts of the contact line between the troops of Azerbaijan and Armenia, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan told Trend Oct. 20.
Armenians opened fire at Azerbaijani troops from positions near the Tapgaragoyunlu and Gulustan villages of Goranboy district, the Chilaburt village of Tartar district, the Kangarli, Sarijali and Shuraabad villages of Aghdam district, the Kuropatkino village of Khojavand district, the Horadiz and Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages of Fuzuli district, and the Mehdili village of Jabrayil district.
Armenian military also opened fire from nameless heights in the districts of Goranboy, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil.
In view of the operational situation, Azerbaijan’s armed forces inflicted 98 blows on enemy positions.
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.
