Baku, Azerbaijan, June 11
Trend:
Armenian armed forces have 25 times violated the ceasefire with Azerbaijan on the line of contact over the past 24 hours, said the message from Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry June 11.
Armenian armed forces were using large-caliber machine guns.
Azerbaijani positions were shelled from the positions located near the Chayli village of the Terter district, Garakhanbayli, Horadiz and Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages of the Fizuli district, as well as on nameless heights in the territory of the Khojavand 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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
