Armenia spreads false information about the alleged killing of several
Azeri soldiers along the contact line, the Azeri Defense Ministry
told Interfax on Monday.
"The Armenian report claiming the alleged death of seven servicemen
of the Azeri army along the Armenian-Azeri contact line is rubbish
and misinformation," Azeri Defense Ministry deputy spokesman Teimur
Abdullayev said, commenting on a report of the unrecognized Karabakh
Republic that "about seven" Azeri servicemen died from November 20
to 25.
Abdullayev confirmed the death of one soldier in the Terter sector
of the frontline.
The Defense Ministry of the unrecognized Karabakh Republic reported
last Saturday that seven Azeri servicemen were killed in retaliation
of the murder of two Karabakh servicemen.
"In retaliation for the death of two Karabakh servicemen on November
19 and 20, the Karabakh side took punitive measures it had warned
about. According to the Karabakh army intelligence, about seven Azeri
servicemen were killed and some were injured in the preventive measures
taken on November 20-25," a ministry representative told Interfax.
He also said that Azerbaijan breached the ceasefire regime along the
contact line about 270 times last week.
The conduct of the Azeri Armed Forces "forces Karabakh to take tough
and proportionate measures," the Karabakh Defense Ministry said.
There will be no lull on the Armenian-Azeri border until the Karabakh
problem is solved, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Saturday.
"There will be no lull on the border until the problem is resolved.
However, we wish that the turbulent atmosphere does not cause human
casualties," he told a press briefing in the Gegharkunik region in
northern Armenia.
He placed the blame for the death of Armenian soldiers on the Azeri
authorities. "Baku is also responsible for the death of Azerbaijani
soldiers," he said.
"In order to solve a problem, we need to want that and to be
confident. No goal can be achieved without certitude," he said.
