ArmInfo.Last night, the armed forces of Azerbaijan intensively violated the ceasefire along the entire line of contact with the Nagorno-Karabakh troops.
The press office of the NKR Defense Army reports that in addition to small arms, the adversary used 60mm and 82mm mortars. The most intensive fire was fixed in the eastern and northeastern directions of the contact line. "To suppress the aggressive actions of the adversary, the forward detachments of the NKR Defense Army took retaliatory measures. The whole responsibility for the escalation along the contact line lies on the Azerbaijani side," the source says, adding that if Azerbaijan continues its provocations, the Armenian side's steps will be tougher.
At the same time, the NKR Defense Army has refuted the Azeri media reports saying that Azeri serviceman Fikret Nurshiravanoglu Bashirov was killed allegedly as a result of the Armenian side's ceasefire violations. "We advise the Azeri side to look for the cause of the serviceman's death in the hazing in the Azeri army," the source says.
