Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of violating a ceasefire between the
two countries by opening fire at the Azerbaijani border 201 times,
leading to escalated tensions along the border.
Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defence realeased a statement accusing
Armenia of firing at various Azerbaijani posts on Saturday - which
their own forces responded to by firing back.
The alleged violations of the ceasefire have taken place since an
Azerbaijani army captain was shot dead by Armenian fire on Thursday.
"Armenian armed forces must withdraw from Azerbaijan's occupied
territories for settlement of the conflict." said the statement. "This
is the shortest and the most effective way to resolve this conflict."
The statement also claimed that a civillian has been injured and
homes and a school shelled.
The ceasefire was agreed at the end of a three-year war between 1991
and 1994 over the sovereignty of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, after
the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
