Baku, March 1, AssA-Irada
Armenian military units, from their positions in the occupied
Shikhlar village of Aghdam District, fired at the positions of the
Azerbaijan armed forces located in Orta Gishlag village of the same
district with submachine guns and machine guns for two hours on
Tuesday. No casualties are reported, local ATV channel said.
The ceasefire violations by Armenia in the Aghdam District became
frequent in February. The OSCE chairman’s special envoy Anjey
Kaspshik will therefore request his organization to step up
monitoring on the Azerbaijan-Armenia frontline.*
