“The latest outbreak of violence was brief - intense fighting lasted only four days - and dozens rather than thousands were killed. But locals say the ceasefire agreement, reached on April 5, is violated almost daily by shelling and fatalities”, says the report.
"We are very afraid as shooting from rocket launchers and shelling has not stopped since the ceasefire," Maral Abdullayeva, an English language teacher in the village of Sarijaly in Azerbaijan, told Reuters.
“"Our school was destroyed on April 4. It has been partly restored since then, but the kids are still afraid to go out," said Abdullayeva, a slim woman in her mid-40s, pointing to cracks in the walls of her small house.
“At least eight soldiers, from both sides, have been killed in exchanges of fire since the ceasefire was declared, according to statements from Azerbaijan and the separatists. Locals say gunfire is particularly common at night”, Reuters reports.
The correspondent also interviewed the Evoglu village residents whose houses were destroyed.
On April 29, 45 media representatives including local and foreign journalists accredited in Azerbaijan visited the area near the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.
Among the journalists are the representatives of Reuters news agency, Bloomberg news agency, AFP news agency, RIA Novosti news agency, Anadolu Agency, IHA news agency, Russia 24 TV channel, as well as Israeli media expert Arye Gut and former Moldovan ombudsman Aurelia Grigoriu.
