Tranquility on front line cut by Armenian fire again

Subunits of the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan in nameless hills of Tovuz, Fizuli and Khojavand regions on November 13-14, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry reported.

The Armenians were silenced with a retail fire, the ministry said.

Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million displaced by the war.

Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia has continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.

Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the US have produced no results so far.
