Over the past 24 hours, Armenian Armed Forces have 110 times violated the ceasefire in various directions along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend Apr. 3.

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

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
