Trend:

Over the past 24 hours, Armenia’s armed forces have 56 times violated the ceasefire along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, said Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry Dec. 2.

The Azerbaijani army positions located in the Kohnegishlag village of Aghstafa district, Kamarli village and nameless heights of the Gazakh district of Azerbaijan underwent fire from the Armenian army positions located in the Paravakar village of the Ijevan district, Dovekh village of the Noyemberyan district of Armenia.

Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani army positions located in the Kokhanabi and Aghbulag villages of Azerbaijan’s Tovuz district were fired at from the Armenian positions located in the Chinari village and nameless heights of the Berd district of Armenia.

The Azerbaijani army positions also underwent fire from the Armenian positions located near the Armenian-occupied Goyarkh, Chilaburt villages of the Tartar district, Shirvanli, Chiragli, Javahirli, Yusifjanli villages of the Aghdam district, Ashagi Seyidahmadli village of the Fuzuli district, Mehdili village of the Jabrayil district, as well as from the positions on nameless heights of the Goranboy, Fuzuli and Khojavand 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.
