Azerbaijan, Baku, 5 March / corr. TrendNews S. Agayeva/ Russia is
perplexed by the ceasefire breach between Azerbaijan and Armenia. "We
are always perplexed by any ceasefire breach on the frontline of
the Azerbaijani and Armenian Armed Forces and yesterday’s breach
differs from previous ones with its intensity," Vasiliy Istratov,
the Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan said to journalists on 5 March.

There has been an exchange of fire between the Armed Forces of
Azerbaijan and Armenia in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan starting
on the morning of 4 March.

Some 12 Armenian solders were killed and 15 seriously injured. Four
soldiers from Azerbaijan died and one was wounded during the exchange
of fire, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan said.

"It would be too early to make a statement about the cause of the
ceasefire," the Ambassador said. According to Istratov, it is important
to wait for the results of the monitoring to be held on the frontline
by OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe).
