Armenia's Defense Ministry has refuted the Azeris' allegations that
there was no shooting attack on their part on Friday morning and that
it was just a skirmish between Armenian servicemen.
The Azeris began shooting at a military unit in Syunik region from
the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Region on Friday morning. As
a result, one Armenian serviceman was killed, one more wounded. The
case is being investigated.
"This is an allegation aimed at covering one more violation of the
cease-fire regime. This is their favorite method. I would be very
much surprised if they admitted their guilt," Spokesman of Armenia's
Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan said, when asked by ArmInfo
to comment on the Azeri Defense Ministry's report that there was no
shooting on their part.
