The Armenian Defense Ministry has issued a statement on the fact that Azerbaijani armed forces were fired at on the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border in the direction of the Kalbajar region.

Axar.az reports that the fact of firing on the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces by the Armenian armed forces has been confirmed. No Azerbaijani servicemen were killed or wounded as a result of the fire.

This fact once again proves that the Armenian side is deliberately pursuing a policy of aggravating the situation on the state border of the two countries and committing military provocations before the elections in Armenia.

The Armenian side is fully responsible for the incident.
