ArmInfo.The Azerbaijani provocation on the border with Armenia is one more proof that Baku goes on pursuing its policy to exert pressure on Armenia by means of force and threats, Ambassador Edmon Marukyan wrote in a Twitter message.
"The provocation unleashed by the Azerbaijani side on the border of Armenia once again proves Azerbaijan's constant policy of putting pressure on the Armenian side through force and threats. Shelling the Armenian positions and the ambulance evacuating wounded soldiers shows Azerbaijan's indiscriminate actions and an attempt to dictate its conditions to the Armenian side in the negotiation process," the message reads.
Armenia's Ministry of Defense reports that "as of 10 a.m., the tenseness of situation in the direction of Sotk decreased significantly.
"As of 10:25 a.m., the decreasing tenseness of the situation in the direction of Sotk remains the same. At the same hour, it is relatively stable in other sectors of the border zone. As a result of the Azerbaijani provocation, the Armenian side has 4 wounded by 10:20 a.m.. The health condition of the 2 wounded servicemen is assessed as satisfactory, and the other 2 of them are in moderate health condition. The lives of the wounded servicemen are not in danger at the moment."
