ArmInfo.The statement of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan that the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia opened fire towards Azerbaijani combat positions in the southwestern part of the border at 5:15 p.m. on April 7th doesn't correspond to reality.
On the night of April 6th and April 7th, the units of the armed forces of Azerbaijan opened fire between 22:45 and 00:25 near Khoznavar (Syunik Province), at 22:45-00:48 near Aravus (Syunik Province), and on April 7th at 02:20 in Sotk (Gegharkunik Province), targeting the combat positions of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.
Simultaneously, the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia informs that the Azerbaijani MoD has disseminated another false statement: On April 6th, between 18:30 and 22:05, the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia did not open fire towards the Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern and southeastern parts of the border.
In this regard, ex-Ombudsman of Armenia Arman Tatoyan stated that these Azerbaijani shelling in the direction and in the immediate vicinity of the villages of the Tavush region of Armenia (Movses, Nerkin Karmiragbyur, etc.) once again show that the Azerbaijani authorities do not have any peaceful intentions.
"The government of Azerbaijan is built on racism and hatred towards Armenians, these are guarantees of their existence. These crimes have destroyed the security of our villages and cities, people are deprived of a peaceful and safe life, the opportunity to earn a family income. Therefore, under no circumstances should their presence be allowed in the vicinity of our sat down," he noted.
