Ceasefire has no rest because of Armenian fire

Subunits of the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan in Garakhanbeyli and Ashagi Abdurrahmanli villages of Fuzuli region and Sarijali village of Aghdam region on November 21-22, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.

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

Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a fragile ceasefire in 1994. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities. Since the war, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. Armenia continues the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions calling for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.

Peace talks brokered by mediators from Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.
