Armenian fire cuts silene on frontline again

The Armenian Armed Forces fired on the positions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from the positions located near the villages of Yusifjanli, Shuraabad of Aghdam region, Garakhanbeyli, Horadiz of Fizuli region, Tapgaragoyunlu of Goranboy region, Goyarkh of Tartar region on March 13, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said on March 14.

The shooting was countered by return fire.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the
liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
