Azeri troops shell Armenian positions using mortarsSeptember 5, 2015 - 12:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani armed forces continuously violated the ceasefire at the line of contact with Armenia (Tavush province) on the evening and night of September 5. According to Armenia’s Defense Ministry, Azeri armed forces attacked Armenian posts and border villages, firing from various caliber weapons, including mortars, infantry support guns and artillery weapons. The frequency of ceasefire violations has dropped, however, against that of the previous days. Keeping the situation under control, the Armenian armed forces mostly stayed committed to the ceasefire, taking retaliatory measures only in extreme necessity to silence the rivals’ attacks. Azeri armed troops have been using infantry support guns and artillery weapons lately, something that the Azerbaijani propaganda attempts unsuccessfully to deny.
