ArmInfo.Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejcinovic Buric, is concerned about the instability of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
"Concerned about reports of exchange of fire along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Call on both sides to abstain from the use of force. Dialogue is the only way to lasting peace," the CoE Secretary General wrote on her microblog on Twitter (X).
On the morning of February 13, the Armenian Ministry of Defense reported that the Azerbaijani armed forces opened fire on Armenian combat positions on the border in the Nerkin Hand (Syunik region).
According to the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, four servicemen were killed and one more was injured.
Azerbaijan not only does not deny the fact of aggression, but also cynically stated that they carried out a 'revenge operation' in response to a "provocation" by the Armenian military. At the same time, they added that as a result of these actions, the Armenian combat post was destroyed. It is noteworthy that all this is happening in the territories of Armenia, which were previously captured by the enemy side against the background of the international community's tacit encouragement of Azerbaijani aggression.
