Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 13
Trend:
Armenia’s armed forces have 28 times violated the ceasefire on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops over the past 24 hours, said Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry Oct. 13.
The Azerbaijani army positions located in Kohneqishlaq village of the Agstafa district and the nameless heights of the Gadabay district underwent fire from the Armenian army positions located in Paravakar village of Armenia’s Ijevan district and the nameless heights of Krasnoselsk district.
The Azerbaijani army positions also underwent fire from the Armenian positions located near Qoyarkh, Chilaburt villages of the Azerbaijan’s Tartar district, Bash Garvand village of the Aghdam district, Ashagi Seyidahmadli village of the Fuzuli district, as well as from the positions located on nameless heights of the Goranboy, Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts.
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.
