Yerevan /Mediamax/. Artsakh Defense Army has reported that Azerbaijan is violating the humanitarian ceasefire, which entered into force at 00:00.

In the northern sector, Azerbaijan used artillery and small arms from 00:04 to 02:45, and in the southern sector, the Azerbaijani forces conducted missile strikes from 02:20 to 02:45.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Leyla Abdullayeva has stated on the evening of October 17 that Baku does not intend to observe a long-term ceasefire.

“The goal of Azerbaijan is to liberate all lands, and we have said this repeatedly at the level of the president. We will go to the end, there can be no talk of "a few villages are liberated, let the rest go.” The purpose of this humanitarian truce is the exchange of prisoners and bodies of the dead; this is not the end of the war.

We are receiving calls from all sides for an armistice and a reduction of escalation, and we say that negotiations have been in vain for 30 years. The truce is by no means should mean that we stop the liberation of our lands,” Leyla Abdullayeva said live on CNN Turk.
