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.
