Saturday,June 28
Last evening the Azerbaijani side was firing shots at four villages of
Armenia's Tavush province - Nerkin Karmiraghbyur, Chinari, Aygepar and
Movses villages for three hours.
"Yesterday's gunfire was heavier than usual. Shots were heard two days
ago as well, but fire was not so heavy. Yesterday shooting began at 10
pm and lasted until 1:00 am," Movses village administrator Ararat
Avalyan told Aysor.am.
"The village came under fire from several directions. They were
shooting at our houses. Windows and roofs have been damaged. A bed
caught fire in a home," he said.
According to Avalyan, a fire broke out in the border zone as a result
of the shooting and several mines planted at that section exploded.
The administrator of Aygepar village Andranik Aydinyan said the
Azerbaijani side used large caliber guns. The gas pipeline was
damaged.
The gunfire caused damage to residential houses in Nerkin
Karmiraghbyur village. "The shooting lasted from 10 pm to 1 am today.
Our troops returned the fire. The damage is being assessed now,"
village administrator Manvel Kamendatyan said.
"The enemy stopped fire after our response. Our response to their
gunfire should be twice as intense," Chinari village head Samvel
Saghoyan told Aysor.am.
