Thats despite announcing a unilateral ceasefire earlier to end the worst flare up of violence in the ring none more than two decades. Al jazeeras robin reports. Reporter despite claims of a ceasefire biaser by john, Armenian Forces in the republic report that there have been more attacks biaser by johns military. Both sides are accusing each other of firing the first shots on saturday they blame each other for violating a 1994 ceasefire that ended a sixyear war. It was a clear violation of the ceasefire, the international law, International Humanitarian law and the geneva conventions. Reporter some have called it the frozen conflict. It began with a decision, soviet leader Joseph Stalin made in 1922. Stalin placed the mountain justice ethnically armenian an clayed inside the newlycreated azerbaijan, soviet social i was republic. Christian armenians and muslims lived in peace for nearly a century, then in the late 1980s, when the ussr was breaking up, o armenians held a National Referendum for independent from azerbaijan. And self rule. But azerbaijan said the region did not have the legal right and sent in its military to retake the area. Thousands of muslims from the area were forced to flee and after years of fighting and more than 30,000 deaths, the region, oarmenia and azerbaijan reacheda truce in 1994. Translator we are fighting on our own territory. If an armenian soldier doesnt want to die, then let them get off azerbaijan territory. Reporter in the the republic is not recognized by the u. N. Analysts believe the renewed skirmishes too lead to a greater regional war. The big question mark people worry about is it probably wouldnt stay confined to those two countries. There is a good possibility of turkish intervention and even more serious a good possibility of russian intervention if the fighting becomes an allout war. Reporter the o. S. C.

Reporter what we do know is that despite the call for, as i described it a unilateral sees fire by the authorities. On the or mea armenian sidearmes and journalists on the ground have confirmed that the fighting very much continues. In fact, just over an hour ago we saw an update from the Defense Ministry of the socalled republic claim that go there has there was continue be to be heavy shelling. The journalists that were there were in a village very close to the frontlines. They actually themselves had to take cover from artillery fire. So a conflicting picture. If we are to believe the forces they have entered a ceasefire. But the armenians saying thats not the case. And what about efforts to try and bring this latest flare up under some sort of control, robin, is anyone making any kind of overture or leading any effort to try to bring the parties back to the table to try and sustain the 1994 ceasefire . Reporter well, we have had International Condemnation and calls for restraint on all sides over the weekend. And as i referenced in the report, there is the minsk group which was formed after the ceasefire to bring the warring sides to the table. But the problem is and that, of course, is expected to reconvene next week. The problem is, that neither or mean i cant or azerbaijan has really shown much willingness for compromise. And also i should add, that those people, the officials, the government, is not party to those peace talks. And the armenians certainly see that as an important step forward in the resolution without their participation, azerbaijan doesnt recognize that republic, but without their participation its very difficult to see at least on the armenian side how there could be a peaceful resolution and this military militarization has just continued at a pace over the past 20 years.

In october, hungary built a fence along its southern Border Forces thousands to travel through the neighboring balkan states. The rerouted influx prompted austria to limit the number of refugees it was letting in, triggering what was effectively a domino impact as serbia, slovenia, croatia and macedonia quickly resulted in to closing their borders.

They have not applied for reporter this is where the refugees coming and migrants they say they are worried about crime and the effect on the job market and tourism. The government says it has no plans to set up a permanent camp here that these people will be processed here and then sent on. We dont know exactly where that will be. The turkish interior minister has been talking earlier on sunday, he says this deal is already having to some extent its desired effect in reducing the numbers of people trying to get in to greece from the coastline here in western turkey. He says the numbers are down below 300 a day. And the coast guard has been picking up people and preventing them from crossing.
