Over the past 24 hours, Armenian military 113 times violated ceasefire on various parts of the contact line between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said Jan. 28.

Armenian armed forces stationed in the Parakavar and Vazashen villages of Ijevan district and Barekamavan, Voskevan, Shavarshavan villages of Noyemberian district of Armenia fired at the Azerbaijani armed forces' positions in the Kohnegishlag village of Agstafa district, Gaymagli, Ashagi Askipara, Gushchu Ayrim, Farahli villages and the nameless heights of Gazakh district.

Azerbaijani armed forces located in the nameless heights of Gedabey district also took fire from the nameless heights in the Krasnoselsk district of Armenia.

The Azerbaijani military also came under fire from positions near Goyarkh, Chileburd, Chayli villages of Terter district, Yusifjanli, Shikhlar, Javahirli, Marzili, Shuraabad, Garagashli, Novruzlu, Sarijali, Kengerli villages of Aghdam district, Kuropatkino village of Khojavand district, Horadiz, Gorgan, Ashagi Seyidahmadli, Ashagi Veysalli villages of Fizuli district and Mehdili village of the Jabrayil district.

The opposing side was silenced with return fire.

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 four UN Security Council resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
