Armenian armed forces have broken the ceasefire with Azerbaijan 49 times in numerous positions in the last 24 hours, Azerbaijani defense ministry said on Apr. 4.

Armenian armed forces, located in the village of Aygepar of Armenia's Berd district, opened fire at the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces located in the village of Alibayli of Tovuz district.

Moreover, the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces located in the village of Kemerli of Qakh district took fire from the positions located in the village of Dovekh of Armenia's Noyemberyan district.

Armenian armed forces, located in the nameless heights of Armenia's Krasnoselsk district, opened fire at the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces located in the nameless heights of Gadabay district.

Azerbaijani positions also took fire from the positions located near the villages of Shikhlar, Shuraabad, Qaraqashli, Sarijali, Novruzlu, Bash Gervend, Merzili, Javahirli, Yusifjanli of Aghdam district, Horadiz, Gorgan, Garakhanbayli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli of Fizuli district and Mehdili of Jabrayil district.

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.
