Armenia goes ahead to breach armistice

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that subunits of the Armenian Armed Forces were silenced with a retaliatory fire after they shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan on October 23-24.

the Armenian Armed Forces started shooting from the Paravakar village of Ijevan region Of Armenia at the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces in nameless hills of Gazakh region.

The Armenian forces also shot at the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces from nameless hills of Gadabay region, Ashagi Askipara village of Gazakh region, Marzili, Sarijali and Shikhlar village of Aghdam region, the Defense Ministry said.

Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s. Long-standing efforts by US, Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.

As a result of the military aggression, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing and almost 100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.

The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on Armenian withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
