YEREVAN. – Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire, at its boundaries with Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, more than 3,460 times since the beginning of 2013. 

The Azerbaijani Armed Forces made use of sniper weaponry close to 590 times and large-caliber weapons, around 205 times—including large-caliber sniper weaponry, close to 110 times—Armenian MOD reports.

As a result of Azerbaijan’s breach of the truce, two Armenian military servicemen were killed and three others were wounded. In addition, a civilian was wounded. All these incidents were recorded in the month of February.

Azerbaijan had violated the ceasefire 16,300 times in 2012
