Armenia continues to violate ceasefire with Azerbaijan
Armenian Armed Forces 7 times violated the ceasefire on the line of contact of the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops over the past 24 hours, said Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry July 15.
Moreover, Azerbaijani positions underwent fire from the positions located near the village of Sarijali of the Aghdam district, Ashaghi Seyidahmedi villages and on nameless heights of the Fizuli district.

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
