Republic of Nagorno Karabakh
NKR Defense Ministry's press-office made a statement in connection
with the incident on the contact-line of the Nagorno Karabakh and
Azerbaijani armed forces.
"On the night of 3/4 March, a special purpose detachment of Azeri Armed
Forces having crossed the north-eastern sector of the contact-line of
the parties' armed forces seized one of the posts of the NKR Defense
Army in the direction of Levonarkh village.
As a result of operative actions of the NKR Armed Forces after
several hours of heavy fighting, the enemy took to flight having left
8 victims and armament on the battlefield. Two servicemen from the
Karabakhi side were wounded.
The NKR Defense Ministry considers necessary to state that by similar
actions the Azeri party attempts to destabilize the situation not
only on the contact-line, but also in the whole region.
The NKR Defense Ministry once again warns Azerbaijan that any action
threatening the NKR security will be strongly rebuffed in the future
as well.
The NKR Defense Ministry urges Azerbaijan to undeviatingly follow the
ceasefire regime and do not jeopardize the peace and security in the
region", the statement says.
