NKR Defense Army reports that the Azerbaijani army violated ceasefire regime around 270 times during the past week.

The Azerbaijani army subunits fired more than 1500 shots from different types of firearms at the NKR defensive positions. Most intensive ceasefire violations were recorded on November 20, 22 and 23. During the past week, the enemy fired around 250 shots from "SVD," "Black Arrow" and Istiqlal sniper rifles alone.

According to the press office of NKR Defense Army, Azerbaijan’s attacks along the line of contact once again confirm the fact that official Baku not only does not respect the international efforts towards peaceful settlement of the conflict but also takes purposeful steps towards aggravating tension at the line of contact - a circumstance that forces the Karabakh side to be stricter in its further actions and adequate - in its responses.

It is noteworthy that during the past week alone, in response to the recent two deaths in the NKR Defense Army as a result of Azerbaijani fire, the Armenian side took preventive measures, as it had announced earlier. According to the Defense Army intelligence data, up to 7 deaths and injuries are reported in the Azerbaijani army on November 20-25 as a result of NKR forces’ preventive measures.

It is obvious that in order to keep the country and the army away from domestic and social riots, official Baku refrains from making public the above mentioned facts. However, reliable sources say that the Azerbaijani authorities demand explanations from the Defense Ministry over these incidents.
