Everything in a stable state in Terter - Night Shooting from Frontline
Life goes on as usual in Azerbaijan’s Terter district which was most of all subjected to the fire by Armenian armed units on the frontal zone, Sabuhi Rahimli, former fighter who is now in Terter told AzVision.az.

“All structures and organizations are operating. People do not panic. There are no problems in the district,” he said.

He said, the power transmission lines, destroyed as a result of the artillery fire by Armenians, have been restored.

Current state in all villages of Terter district is stable. You can also see it in the video shot by S. Rahimli himself.



On the night of Apr. 2, all the frontier positions of Azerbaijan were subjected to heavy fire from Armenians, who were using large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. Azerbaijani settlements near the frontline densely populated by civilians were shelled as well.

A counter-attack was carried out following the provocations of the Armenian armed forces on the night of Apr. 2.

Six Armenian tanks, 15 gun mounts and reinforced engineering structures were destroyed. At least 200 casualties were reported.

Twelve servicemen of the Azerbaijani armed forces heroically died, one Mi-24 helicopter was shot down and one tank was damaged on a mine.

Three more soldiers of Azerbaijan were killed as a result of the ceasefire violation on April 3.

On Apr. 4, Azerbaijani Armed Forces destroyed three tanks and eliminated around 30 servicemen of the Armenian armed forces.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
