RA Foreign Minister: EU observation mission was not at Tegh community  at time of provocation by Azerbaijani armed forces

ArmInfo.The observation mission of the European Union, which monitors the situation on the borders of Armenia, was unable to register the incident on April 11,  because at the time of the provocation it was not near the village of  Tegh in the Syunik region of the republic. On April 12, RA Minister  of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan stated this from the rostrum of  the RA National Assembly.

According to him, the Armenian side does not yet have information  about the content of the mission's report on this incident, which was  sent to the European External Action Service. The minister noted that  in case of such incidents, international partners are immediately  notified, including the EU and its individual members, expecting a  quick response from the latter. As an example, Mirzoyan pointed to  yesterday's statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry, which cites  the aggressive actions of the Azerbaijani side.  These measures are  aimed at preventing further escalation.

On April 11, the Armenian Defense Ministry issued a message according  to which Azerbaijani units opened fire on the Armenian servicemen,  who were carrying out engineering work in the direction of the  village of Tegh, Syunik region. Mortars were also used. According to  the Ministry of Defense, four soldiers from the Armenian side were  killed and six were wounded.
