    YEREVAN/BAKU. Nov 22

    Stepanakert reports violations of the ceasefire along the separation
    line between the armed forces of self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno
    Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

    "According to reports of the defense army of Karabakh, on November
    16-22 the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire on the
    separation line about 1,200 times. During the said period over 13,000
    shots were made in the direction of Armenian positions from weapons of
    different caliber," the press service of the Nagorno Karabakh Defense
    Ministry reported on Saturday.

    Advanced military units of the self-proclaimed republic "gave an
    adequate reply," the report says.

    "In case of provocations there will always be reply steps. An adequate
    reply will be given at the very least," Armenian Defense Minister
    Seiran Oganian said to reporters on Saturday.

    "We will intensify service along the first line as far as monitoring,
    identification and elimination is concerned. These measures will be
    directed against those who try to violate the ceasefire mode," the
    minister said.

    Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan on Saturday reported
    that in the past 24 hours the Armenian side violated the ceasefire on
    the separation line 75 times.
