collapsed quickly on Monday, October 26, with Armenia and Azerbaijan trading accusations of violating the US-brokered ceasefire within minutes.
Azerbaijan's foreign ministry said Armenian forces had shelled the town of Terter and nearby villages in"gross violation" of the truce. Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in a bitter conflict over Karabakh since Armenian separatists backed by Yerevan seized control of the mountainous province in a 1990s war that left 30,000 people dead.
Agence France-Presse journalists in the city on Monday said the night had been calm. There were fewer sounds of fighting coming from the frontline on Monday morning than in previous days, though rounds of shelling could be heard in the distance. Russia, France and the United States are leaders of the"Minsk Group" which has failed since the 1990s to bring about a negotiated settlement to the conflict.This year's fighting is the heaviest since a 1994 ceasefire, raising fears that Azerbaijan's ally Turkey and Russia, which has a military alliance with Armenia, could be further drawn into the conflict.
