Ombudsman: At night Azerbaijani Armed forces opened fire in the  direction of Sotk mountain pass

ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani Armed forces opened fire in the direction of Sotk mountain pass, Armenia's Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook  page.

''Special note: the shots are from the place where the windmills are  located. And that area is located in the Sotk mountain pass region of  Geghamasar community of Gegharkunik province (200 hectare land plot),  which the RA government by the decision of December 2000, provided to  the company with legal registration in the Republic of Armenia,  signed a lease agreement for 30 years, ensuring the state  registration of property rights.

In other words, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces are illegally present in  the territory belonging to the RA business company, from where they  regularly target the Sotk gold mine, Geghamasar community, and the  positions of the RA Armed Forces. At the same time, with their  illegal presence, they caused a loss of about $ 5,000,000 to the  Armenian business company'', Tatoyan noted.

It should be noted that the day before, from early morning until late  at night, the enemy undertook provocations in different parts of the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border. As a result of the provocations,  according to the Armenian Defense Ministry, one serviceman was killed  by an enemy sniper's bullet in the direction of Yeraskh, another one  received a fatal gunshot wound during the unleashed firefight in  Gegharkunik
