The aggravating the situation parties to the conflict once again accused each other. Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported a few hours ago: during the night the Armenian side fired a number of settlements in the line of contact. In turn, the Defense Ministry of Armenia said that in the early morning of Azerbaijan resumed artillery strikes on the disputed territory. What battles do not stop, and confirmed in the most unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

What’s happening in the conflict zone are still not known. Information on both sides comes quite contradictory. In the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh Stepanakert is now calm. From here to areas where they were fighting, tens of kilometers. And if the night before came the distant sounds of explosions, the night was quiet.

However, a source in the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic informed the news agency “Sputnik Armenia” that active fighting is still going on. And pictures, which spread the same agency – Karabakh hundreds of men lined up to join the ranks of volunteers.

What caused a new aggravation of an old conflict that smoldering since 1988, when the autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh declared secession from the then Azerbaijan SSR, is also still unknown.

Armenia Azerbaijan accuses telling that Azerbaijanis tried to break through in the Nagorno-Karabakh with tanks, artillery and aircraft, but were rebuffed. Official Baku, in turn, insists in the aggravation of the situation to blame Armenia. Its armed forces supposedly on the night of Friday to Saturday, 127 times violated the ceasefire. And the Azerbaijani army was forced to respond.

The clarity in the situation do not make pictures from the Internet, taken allegedly in the conflict zone. The authenticity of their check is not possible, and the parties alternately claim provocation and disinformation. It is still not clear and the scale of the confrontation. Official Yerevan figures were announced at an emergency meeting of the Security Council of Armenia, which took place late in the evening, chaired by President Serzh Sargsyan.

“The enemy used the air force, all kinds of artillery and armored vehicles. They have a loss and in the aviation industry and the military. We also have a loss. 18 people were killed and 35 wounded. This is the most serious clash 1994 “, – said the President of Armenia.

In Azerbaijan officially recognized 12 deaths and the loss of military helicopter shot down and say that the fighting has stopped.

“We believe that the conflict should be resolved on the basis of UN Security Council resolution that calls for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian forces from our territories to solve such problems should be based on the territorial integrity of countries.” – Said Ilham Aliyev .

According to reports, Azerbaijan and Armenia will continue to pull in the contact line of heavy artillery and armored vehicles. This video is the official Baku has not commented. However, Yerevan and is silent with respect to heavy machinery columns, which are directed towards the Nagorno-Karabakh.

On the mountain serpentine, connecting Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, the night moved columns of heavy equipment. On the eve of the evening it was reported that Armenia throws Rocket Artillery Brigade in Nagorno-Karabakh. But other types of heavy weapons moving in that direction, armored personnel carriers and tanks.

The international community, meanwhile, continues to encourage both sides to show restraint. On the eve of the need for a cease-fire declared by Vladimir Putin. Telephone conversations with his counterparts from Armenia and Azerbaijan held a Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Put an end to the fighting called on UN Secretary-General. Ways out of this situation will be discussed at the meeting under the auspices of the OSCE, which is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Despite assurances from both sides and the international community calls for a de-escalation of the conflict, the situation remains difficult.
