    The ceasefire on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line was broken
    24 times in numerous positions last night, the Azerbaijani Defense
    Ministry said on July 10.

    The armed forces of Armenia, located in the villages of Berkaber,
    Paravakar of Armenia's Ijevan region, fired at the positions of
    Azerbaijani armed forces, located in the villages of Gizilhajili of
    Gazakh and Kohnegishlag of Aghstafa region.

    Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani armed forces, located in the Kemerli
    village of Gazakh region, underwent fire from the positions located
    in the Doveh village of Armenia's Noyemberyan region.

    Moreover, the Azerbaijani positions located in the villages of Kohanebi
    and Aghdam of Tovuz region, took fire from the positions located in
    the village of Mosesgerh and at the nameless heights of Armenia's
    Berd region.

    At the same time, the Azerbaijani positions underwent fire from the
    positions located at the nameless heights and near the villages of
    Horadiz, Ashagi Seyidahmadli, Ashagi Veyselli of Fizuli, Merzili,
    Shikhlar of Aghdam, Tapgaragoyunlu of Goranboy and Kuropatkino of
    Khojavend region.

    The opposing side was silenced with return fire.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

    As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
    20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
    seven surrounding districts.

    The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
    holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.(Cihan/Trend az)
