Armenian Armed Forces violate ceasefire in several directions

Azerbaijan, Baku, August 23/ Trend E. Aliyev/

Armenian armed forces opened fire at positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces from the positions located in the village of Yusifjanly of Aghdam region, Gizil Oba of Tartar region, Tapgaragoyunlu of Goranboy region, as well as in the villages of Ashagi Seyidahmadli and Ashagi Abdulrahmanli of Fizuli region yesterday and last night, Azerbaijani Defence Ministry told Trend on Friday.

At the same time, the positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces located in the village of Aghdam of Tovuz region were subjected to shots from positions located in the village of Mosesgeh of Armenia's Berd region.

The shooting was countered by return fire.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

The Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts- 20 percent of Azerbaijan - are under occupation of Armenian armed forces.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are holding still unsuccessful peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
