Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense: Armenia exacerbates situation in region

Armenia exacerbates the situation in the region, firing from small arms, mortars, artillery installations and shock UAVs of various caliber positions of the Azerbaijani army.

This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan.

The department reported that the Armenian side concentrates additional combat equipment and manpower at positions in the direction of the village of Basarkechara District.

The Ministry of Defense noted that Yerevan distributes misinformation in order to create prerequisites for further provocations and is trying to form an erroneous opinion in the international community.

“All responsibility for the tension and its consequences lies with the military-political leadership of Armenia,” the department emphasized.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that the Azerbaijani military personnel were wounded by the provocation of the Armenia Armed Forces.
