    YEREVAN. July 23

    Azeri soldiers opened fire on Armenian Emergency Situations Ministry
    firefighters who were working to extinguish a blaze at a local
    vineyard.

    The fire broke out at a vineyard located in the village of Doveg in
    northeastern Armenia, near the border with Azerbaijan, on Monday
    evening, an Armenian Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman told
    Interfax.

    "The efforts to combat the blaze were hampered by gunfire opened from
    the territory of Azerbaijan. Shots were fired at the firefighters
    from Azerbaijan's territory, disrupting their work from time to time,"
    he said.

    None of the Armenian firefighters were killed or injured in the
    incident.
