The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire, killing Nagorno Karabakh defense army serviceman Hovik Sukiasyan on January 20.

The firing was stopped due to retaliatory measures. According to preliminary data, the Azerbaijani side suffered greater loss of life. Details are being clarified, the NKR defense ministry’s press office said.

As during the last year, Azerbaijan continues with attacks and subversive attempts in 2011.
