The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that subunits of the
Armenian Armed Forces were silenced with a retaliatory fire after
they shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan on October 22-23, AzerTag
state news agency reported.
The Armenian Armed Forces started shooting from the nameless hills
of Ijevan region and Berkaber village of Armenia at the positions of
Azerbaijani Armed Forces in nameless hills and Gizilhacili village
of Gazakh region.
The Armenian forces also shot at the positions of Azerbaijani Armed
Forces from nameless hills of Goranboy region, the Defense Ministry
said.
Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing
of a fragile ceasefire in 1994. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were
killed and over 1 million displaced as a result of the large-scale
hostilities. Since the war, Armenian armed forces have occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh
and seven surrounding regions. Armenia continues the occupation in
defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate
and unconditional withdrawal.
Peace talks brokered by mediators from Russia, France and the U.S.
have produced no results so far.
