The Armenian side continues military provocations and the violation of the ceasefire regime with Azerbaijan. The number of ceasefire breaches by the aggressor country was exceeding 100 times every day during the Novruz holiday.

Only on March 26, the Armenian Armed Forces have 111 times violated the ceasefire in various directions along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that the Armenian army was using heavy machine guns.

The Azerbaijani army positions located in the Jafarli, Gushchu Ayrim, Farahli, Kamarli and Qaymagli villages of the Gazakh district underwent fire from the Armenian army positions located on nameless heights of the Ijevan district and in the Voskevan, Shavarshavan, Berdavan and Barekamavan villages of the Noyemberyan district of Armenia.

Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani army positions located in the Alibayli, Aghdam and Munjuglu villages, as well as on nameless heights of the Tovuz district were shelled from the Armenian army positions located in the Aygepar, Mosesgekh, Chinari villages and on nameless heights of the Berd district of Armenia.

The Azerbaijani army positions located in the Garaveliler village and on nameless heights of the Gadabay district underwent fire from the Armenian army positions located on nameless heights of Armenia’s Krasnoselsk district.

Moreover, the Azerbaijani army positions were shelled from the Armenian positions located near the Armenian-occupied Goyarkh, Chilaburt villages of the Tartar district, Garagashli, Yusifjanli, Bash Garvand, Shikhlar, Marzili, Javakhirli and Shirvanli villages of the Aghdam district, Kuropatkino village of the Khojavand district.

The Azerbaijani army positions were also shelled from the Armenian positions located near the Armenian-occupied Gorgan, Horadiz, Garakhanbayli and Ashagi Seyidahmadli villages of the Fuzuli district, Mehdili village of the Jabrayil district, as well as from the positions on nameless heights of the Goranboy, Tartar, Khojavand, Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts of Azerbaijan.

Armenia broke out a lengthy war against Azerbaijan laying territorial claims on its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities.

Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.
