    CEASEFIRE BREACHES BY ARMENIA PERSIST

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    Sept 1 2005

    Baku, August 31, AssA-Irada
    The monitoring by OSCE and other international organizations on the
    Armenia-Azerbaijan frontline aimed at preventing ceasefire violations
    have turned out fruitless. Armenians have stepped up activity in
    their positions close to the frontline over the past several months
    and continue breaching ceasefire in different areas. In August alone,
    one Azeri warrant officer was taken captive by Armenia, another one
    died on the frontline, and 2 military men stepped on a landmine,
    with one dying on the spot and the other receiving serious injuries.

    Armenian armed forces have violated ceasefire over 20 times over the
    past month.

    They shot at the Azerbaijani positions 8 times in the occupied
    Aghdam district, 11 times in Terter, once in Fuzuli and three times
    in Khojavand district. The villages located close to the frontline
    were repeatedly subjected to shooting as well.

    Armenian forces also opened fire from cannons and armored vehicles
    in Aghdam. Armenian military men have started large-scale military
    training in the district, Azeri experts say.*
