Armenia and Azerbaijan exchanged accusations of violating the ceasefire aimed at ending the fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh region shortly after it entered into force today.

The French Press Agency quoted the Armenian Defense Ministry as saying that the Azerbaijani forces committed a serious violation of the ceasefire by targeting the positions of fighters in different areas on the front lines with artillery fire.

In turn, Armenian President Nikol Pashinyan stressed on Facebook that his country continues to fully adhere to the ceasefire announced by the United States yesterday.

For its part, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said that the Armenian forces bombed the town of Tartar and neighboring villages, in a "grave violation of the ceasefire in Karabakh."

For his part, Hikmat Hajiyev, an aide to the Azerbaijani President, said in a statement that Armenia violated the current ceasefire agreement as well as the two previous agreements, indicating that his country is exercising restraint.

The current conflict broke out in the Nagorno Karabakh region, which is disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan about a month ago, and the two sides have repeatedly accused each other of targeting civilians and violating previous ceasefire agreements in the region.
