YEREVAN. - The Azerbaijani Armed Forces violated the ceasefire, at
their line of contact with Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, 1,161 times
in the month of August.
All through that time, the Azerbaijani side also made use of sniper
weapon almost 300 times and large-caliber weapon, 34 times, Armenia's
MOD reports.
One Armenian military serviceman was wounded as a result of
Azerbaijan's breach of the truce in August.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Azerbaijani side
regularly violated the ceasefire at Armenia's border, over the past
weekend, but these breaches were not large-scale, Armenian Defense
Minister's Press Secretary Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
In Hovhannisyan's words, security is not boosted at the border, and
President Serzh Sargsyan's order toward increasing the alertness is
being carried out.
Also, the adversary repeatedly violated the ceasefire, at the
line of contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani armed forces,
but these breaches did not claim any lives from the Armenian side,
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army press service informed Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
To note, Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan convened a National
Security Council session on August 31-and in connection with the
release of Azerbaijani army officer Ramil Safarov, who had killed
Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe and while he was
asleep-and instructed to increase the alertness of the Armed Forces.
Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier that Ramil Safarov, a lieutenant
in the Azerbaijani military, was extradited on August 31 from Hungary,
where he was serving a life sentence-and with no expression of
either regret or remorse-for the premeditated axe murder of Armenian
lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan, in his sleep, during a NATO Partnership
for Peace program in Budapest back in 2004.
As expected, Ramil Safarov's return to Baku was welcomed, as was
his act of murder, by the officials of president Ilham Aliyev's
government and much of Azerbaijani society, and the Azerbaijani
president immediately granted him a pardon.
And Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan announced on August 31 that
Armenia is suspending its diplomatic ties with Hungary.
