On September 2-8, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces made more than 2000 shots at the positions of the Defence Army, the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh has stated.

Earlier, during the previous week, from August 26 to September 1, Nagorno-Karabakh counted 150 bombardments delivered from the Azerbaijani side.

On September 2-8, the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh counted 200 acts of shelling from small arms. "The advanced units of the Nagorno-Karabakh's Defence Army basically refrained from responding," the website of the MoD reports.

It should be noted here that the Azerbaijani side is daily informing about shelling by Armenia and from the territories controlled by the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh. According to the calculations of the "Caucasian Knot", during the week of September 2-8, Azerbaijan announced about 628 cases of ceasefire violation. Only during the past 24 hours, Azerbaijani positions, according to the country's MoD, were shelled for 75 times.
