Azerbaijan on Tuesday, July 4 violated the ceasefire on the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) using various caliber mortars and even employed a TR-107 rocket engine in the south of the frontline. Nagorno karabakh troops returned the fire shortly afterwards. The Minsk Group co-chairs on Wednesday condemned the incident, "The Minsk Group co-chairs urgently call upon the sides to cease military action. Violence only begets further violence and accomplishes nothing. The only responsible and humane way to resolve this long-standing conflict is for the sides to return to the negotiation table in good faith," they said in a statement. "The co-chairs extend their condolences to the families of the victims." Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
