The tension on the Line of Contact of the Nagorno- Karabakh and Azeri troops has recently escalated and the number of cases of ceasefire violation and sabotage attacks by Azerbaijan has considerably increased.
When rebuffing one of such attacks, the Armenian side suffered losses. Armenian Defense Ministry Spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan says that Armenian servicemen Artak Aghekyan and Hayk Baroyan were killed. The Armenian servicemen neutralized three Azeri soldiers. "The responsibility for the escalation lies on the military and political leadership of Azerbaijan. We call on the international community to pay attention to this", says Hovhannisyan.
