    STEPANAKERT, AUGUST 1, NOYAN TAPAN. The Azeri armed forces are again
    displaying notable activity all along the contact line recently,
    as a result of which cases of violation of the cease-fire have been
    registered.

    According to a press release of the press service of the NKR Ministry
    of Defence, on the morning of July 29 and during that day, Azeri
    military opened fire from small-calibre rifles and machine-guns at the
    Karabakh positions in the south-eastern, north-western and northern
    border sections.

    The Azeris stopped fire after adequate actions of the Armenian
    armed forces.

    It is mentioned in the press release that the NKR Defence Army did
    not suffer losses as a result of the cease-fire violation.

    Reference of the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The NKR conflict
    began in 1991 when in response to the Nagorno Karabakh population
    demand for self-determination, Azerbaijan's authorities made an attempt
    to solve the problem by starting ethnic cleansing and large-scale
    military actions by Soviet security forces (KGB special detachments)
    - under the mask of passport regime, which resulted in thousands of
    victims and considerable material losses. Cease-fire was signed in
    1994. Negotiations are now being conducted on the conflict settlement
    with the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs (Russia, the US
    and France) based on the Madrid proposals presented by the co-chairs
    in November 2007.
