Armenian Armed Forces Violates Ceasefire Regime
Azerbaijan, Baku / corr. Trend S.Ilhamgizi / On 1 June, from their
positions in Berd district, the divisions of the Armenian Armed
Forces fired at the positions of Azerbaijan Armed Forces in Agdam
village of Azerbaijan’s Tartar district with machine-guns and
sub-machine-guns, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan informs.
In addition, Armenia violated the ceasefire regime on 2 June from
their position in occupied Shikhlar village of Azerbaijan’s Agdam
district.
The enemy was fired against and there is no lost.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus appeared in
1988 due to the territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan.
Armenia has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including
Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven Districts of the country
surrounding it. Since 1992 to the present time, these territories
have been under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In 1994,
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire agreement at which time
the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (
Russia, France and USA) hold peaceful negotiations.
