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 27-28.
The Armenian Armed Forces shot from Ijevan region at the positions
of Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Gazakh, Agdam and Fuzuli regions.
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 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.
