“It is well known that the stability that had been prevailing for almost five months was spoiled by the provocations of Armenia on Feb. 12, and the responsibility for this lies with the Armenian side,” it mentioned.
On Monday, Azerbaijan’s State Border Service mentioned that one in every of its troopers was injured as a result of photographs fired by Armenian forces towards the nation’s southwestern Zangilan district on Monday.
The ministry urged Armenia to elucidate why the Armenian Defense Ministry didn’t hold its promise to conduct an investigation into the incident, in addition to to make clear why it makes use of mercenaries at its border posts.
“If the Armenian side is really interested in the peace process, it should abandon its territorial claims to Azerbaijan,” it added.
