Over the past 24 hours, Armenia’s armed forces have 35 times violated the ceasefire along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, said Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry Dec. 25.

The Azerbaijani army positions located in nameless hills in Gazakh distirct, Aghbulag, Kokhanabi and Muncuglu villages of Tovuz district underwent fire from the Armenian army positions located in Paravakar village in Ijevan district, Chinari village and nameless hills in Berd district of Armenia.

Moreover, the Azerbaijani army positions underwent fire from the Armenian positions located near the Armenian-occupied Javahirli village of Aghdam district, Kuropatkino village of Khojavand district, Ashaghi Seyidahmadli, Horadiz, Gorgan villages of Fuzuli district, as well as from positions located in the nameless hills in Goranboy, Tartar, Khojavand and Fuzuli 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.
