Azerbaijani military annihilated another drone of the Armenian armed forces on July 7 while it attempted to fly over Azerbaijani positions.

“DJI Inspire1 (Quadcopter) drone of the Armenian armed forces, which has attempted to carry out a flight over the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces on the contact line in the direction of Fuzuli region, has been discovered and destroyed due to vigilance of the army,” the Azerbaijani defense ministry said.

This is the second provocation of the Armenian armed forces within three days. On July 6, the Azerbaijani armed forces destroyed two Armenian drones in the direction of the contact line in Tartar region.

Defying all international calls to abide by the ceasefire agreement with Azerbaijan, Armenia still continues to aggravate tension on the contact line of Armenian-Azerbaijani troops with constant provocations on frontline.

Last January, Azerbaijani armed forces destroyed an Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle while it was flying over Azerbaijani positions in Aghdam region on the frontline.

In late 2014, a military helicopter belonging to Armenian armed forces was downed by the Azerbaijani armed forces while it was attempting to carry out provocative actions on the frontline.

Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.

Large-scale hostilities ended with a Russia-brokered ceasefire in 1994 but Armenia continued the occupation in defiance of four UN Security Council resolutions. Peace talks mediated by Russia, France and the U.S. have produced no results so far.
