ANKARA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Azerbaijan said on Sunday that Armenian armed forces have shelled its second largest city Ganja, escalating the conflict which flared up last week.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said Armenian armed forces are firing rockets in Fizuli region from Armenia, and heavy artillery in Aghdam and Terter regions from “occupied territories.”<\/p>\n

The enemy shelled Ganja city from Armenia, it said.<\/p>\n

Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov said shelling Azerbaijan’s territories from Armenia is “provocative and expands the zone of hostilities.”<\/p>\n

Separately, Hikmet Hajiyev, an assistant to Azerbaijan’s president, on Twitter said “indiscriminate missile attacks are launched against Ganja, F\u00fczuli, Tartar and Jabrayil cities of Azerbaijan from territory of Armenia.”<\/p>\n
