Baku reports intense shooting from Armenian positions
BAKU. June 13
The positions of the Azeri armed forces in the Karabakh conflict zone
came under an intense 24-hour shelling by the Armenian armed forces,
the Azerbaijan Defense Ministry said.
Armenia violated the cease-fire between 8 a.m. on Sunday and 8 a.m. on
Monday firing at the Agdam, Goranboi, Terter, Fizuli and Gedabek
districts, the ministry said. The adversary’s fire was suppressed by
retaliatory measures. There are no losses among Azeri forces, the
ministry said.
Several people on both sides were killed in armed incidents in the
conflict zone last week.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire deal in May 1994. The
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) conducts,
through the personal representative of its Chairman-in-office, regular
monitoring on the frontline in order to obtain information on how the
conflicting parties comply with the cease-fire.
