ArmInfo.On July 23, at about 5:00pm, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces opened fire on Armenian positions located on the Gegharkunik section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. This was reported by the RA Ministry of Defense.
It is noted that, it was preceded by shootings at the Azerbaijani military positions themselves, which may be associated with an interpersonal incident between the Azerbaijani military. This is evidenced by the fact that the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan mentions in its message that an Azerbaijani soldier was killed as a result of the fire opened by the Armenian side. The RA Ministry of Defense states that it did not take retaliatory measures until the moment when the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan opened fire on the Armenian positions.
As a result of the next provocation of the Azerbaijani side, 3 servicemen of the RA Armed Forces received a gunshot wound. Nothing threatens their lives.
The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia strongly condemns the next provocation of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. All responsibility for the aggravation of the situation lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.
