    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 24-25.

    According to the ministry, the Armenian Armed Forces started shooting
    from Paravakar village of Ijevan region, Barekamavan village of
    Noyemberyan region and Mosesgerkh village of Berd region of Armenia at
    the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Kohnagishlag village of
    Aghstafa region, Gaymagli village of Gazakh region, nameless hills
    of Tovuz region, Tap Garagoyunlu village of Goranboy region, Marzili
    and Javahirli villages of Aghdam region.

    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.
