A year after rising mad trophy to protest Movement People are still waiting for change. Now the latest attempt to end fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to be followed for just hours after it began both sides accuse each other of violating a 2nd ceasefire its been nearly 3 weeks of fighting in about a region which lies within azerbaijan but its occupied by Ethnic Armenians more than 700 people are estimated to have been killed on both sides the 2 nations have agreed to a russian mediated cease fire a week ago that collapsed within hours. With me is near the city of will jog in azerbaijan but 1st lets go with Bernard Smith in armenias capital yet advancer burnham one of the armenians saying about what exactly happened so this latest ceasefire. Just minutes after the cease fire started fired at targets military targets within territory operating in the golan of karabakh says the targets were military targets military positions and it happened just after as i said just after midnight and this truce came into play after russias foreign minister contacted his azeri armenian counterparts on saturday to try and persuade them to implement this truce that theyd agreed last week it is only a humanitarian truce and that is a truce that was designed for both sides to be able to exchange bodies of killed soldiers and Exchange Prisoners of war armenia particularly needs the ceasefire to work because of the enormous domestic pressures Political Leadership is under its last 633 armenian fighters so far its lost control of territory to azerbaijan territory that armenia has controlled since the cease fire in 1994 that came at the end of the war this territory is essentially between nagornokarabakh and. Proper it is what armenia considers a buffer or a security zone that it says it needs to ensure the security of karabakh it is over the last more than 26 years the both sides are supposed to be negotiating the status final status of this territory and karabakh it is as very territory as a wants it back and it says these last more than 26 years of talks have got it nowhere which is why with turkeys help it is pushing this military assault to try and take this land back or im. And bernard the russians are quite keen to ensure that a ceasefire does kick in right. They are because there is a risk of russia being dragged dragged into this conflict and has a security pact with armenia to protect the territorial integrity of the republic of armenia at the moment the fighting is going on for nagornokarabakh and over serry territories or russia isnt getting involved but if as a armenia itself is threatened russia might feel obliged to get involved there and it would find itself facing off against turkey again where theyre already on different sides of the fight in libya and in syria. Or ive. Well leave it there with bernard lets continue this now though with i mean she is live for us. As a very different take from the as there is on what happened this morning to that 2nd cease fire and. Yes absolutely actually. Pointing the finger at i mean youre there saying that i mean youre despite agreeing to this you may fire has tried to recapture those territories or bernard was mentioning now mainly these 2 regions of jip raid and that are sort of southeast of of now border karabakh now those are 2 regions where as you buy john has made a significant territorial gains from what we understand from the ministry of defense here that well let me enforce it would have tried to reach. Enter at least part of those regions but as we understand that there have been no casualties certainly the atmosphere today is much less heightened that it was yesterday at this time it had been a very. Intense day really for azerbaijan this is our report. It was a city asleep when the explosions ripped through the quiet of the night and. People here were already on edge their hometown has come under fire several times since the conflict was reconnected 3 weeks ago. This attack was the most devastating so far so theres a lot of moving weve been living in fear for days we couldnt sleep at night we hid but that was no use we suffering a lot i wish we would put our children would have to live without us we believe in our state and president may god give us back our. About an hour drive from the disputed region of the corner karabakh that azerbaijan and armenia are fighting over i mean at 1st denied it had the long range capability to hit as far as ganja but then in a statement it said that there were several as Syrian Military assets in and around the city that were legitimate targets here and back president ilham called the attack a crime against humanity and that revenge will come under battlefield a few hours after the attack in gander announced his forces which are backed by turkey have taken control of more villages in physically south east of nagornokarabakh one of 7 regions surrounding the un clave occupied by armenia since 1904 many here believe its time to areas return under. Our history is our future and we cant leave this problem to our kids. And we need to help them to my relatives been living in that occupied region and i know the hardest so far there theyve been living in the as a refugee for the years here in baquba and so this is the cant leave this problem for the our future future our Generation Next generation we need to resolve it now the capital of nagornokarabakh stepan a carrot was hit on friday a few hours before the ganja attack this was also not the 1st time that civilians came under attack there at least 600 armenian soldiers have lost their lives since september 27th as a by john hasnt made public the number of losses among its ranks but the toll among civilians is mounting a new humanitarian ceasefire is underway this one brokered by france to u. S. And russia but as it has already indicated is only temporary. And it would continue its offensive to retake the occupied territories with hamid. A u. N. Arms embargo on iran has expired after 13 years it was lifted as part of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers the us withdrew from the pact in 2018 its voiced strong opposition to any easing of sanctions foreign minister divides or if welcomed the development calling it a win for Regional Peace and security ok lets go live now to those who are in toronto or are now go on a spending spree. Well based on what weve been hearing its very unlikely that this will happen its seen that this lifting of the sanctions is seen as more of a political win for iran its something president Hassan Rouhani its just in the past few days that its a very important step for the iranian nation for them to have something specific content of all as a result of the Nuclear Agreement of 2015 now just to give you an idea of how much money iran spends on its defense of program it between 2016 in 2013 it was around 45 percent of its g. D. P. That was between 18 and 22 1000000000. 00 thats not likely to change it there was a drastic drop in 2001000 due to the sanctions the United States imposed on iran but theyre expecting that number to increase again this year based on the fact that iran has said that they will continue to produce what they need domestically right now they are producing about 90 percent of their defensive requirements inside the country and the 2 countries that they deal with for the majority of their defensive needs are russia and china and that is likely to continue even after this embargo is lifted but its now seen as more of a political win for the leadership of this country. Also what does this mean for the future of the nuclear deal because this was an important component of that. Yes certainly the fuel the Nuclear Agreement was very much up in the air it still is since the United States withdrew from it in 2018 the iranians have taken a number of measures to reduce their commitment to the nuclear deal as a result of that move by the u. S. But the european signatories that are left in the agreement say that they are very much still committed to this deal and even though you do United States tried and number of times to prevent this arms embargo from being lifted over the past few months at the United NationsSecurity Council the european stood with iran saying that that will not happen that this arms embargo will go ahead and be left it and that is what is iran hoping for that will continue is that support from the remaining signatories so they will see the further benefits down the line if the iranians have said that the United States leaving the deal doesnt give them the right to actually put pressure on iran and impose their own restrictions since there are no longer as part of this agreement so for now it seems that this arms embargo being lifted is seen as a step that this Nuclear Agreement which was very much in question over the past few months is very much still alive and iran will continue to see the benefits from it all right thanks so much.
