Attack on Azeri territory was response to ceasefire violation -
Armenian Defense Ministry
YEREVAN. Feb 6
Artsrun Ovannisyan, press officer for the Armenian defense minister,
believes there is "a slow war" taking place on the Armenian-Azeri
border.
"The situation on the border has remained tense since January. There
is a slow war taking place on the border. If we lose this war, we will
lose positions, not people. If we don't respond to the daily actions
taken by the enemy, we will begin to suffer defeat," Ovannisyan told
reporters on Friday.
Armenian doctors earlier said a resident of the village of Nerkin
Karmirakhbyur, Tavush region of Armenia, was killed in an attack
coming from Azerbaijan.
In the meantime, Ovannisyan told reporters the Azeri military had
breached the ceasefire regime on all tracks along the border on the
Tavush region.
"Fire was opened on populated areas. Armenia opened fire on the Azeri
positions from which the shots had been fired," he said.
Ovannisyan earlier said Levon Andreasyan, 85, an Armenian resident,
was wounded in an attack by the Azeri military on the village of
Movse, Tavush region of Armenia on February 4.
The OSCE on January 27 called on Azerbaijan and Armenia to exercise
restraint in resolving the Karabakh conflict.
The OSCE reiterated the importance of measures that could rule out the
possibility of incidents between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
