It is also worth noting that the day before the Armenian media, referring to the RA Ministry of Defense, reported about another incident between the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Gegharkunik region, as a result of which two Armenian servicemen were hospitalized. To note, on May 12 and 13, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces illegally entered the territory of the Republic of Armenia in the direction of Syunik and Gegharkunik, advanced 3.5 km and 2 km inland, respectively, deployed their units and refuse to leave the territory. In connection with the current situation, Armenia turned to the CSTO to assist in finding a solution to this issue. The question still remains unresolved. According to some estimates, more than 600 Azerbaijani military forces were stationed in the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia. On May 23, the RA Ministry of Defense reported that the Azerbaijani side withdrew a part of its military from the territory of Armenia. On May 25, as a result of the firing of the open armed forces of Azerbaijan on the territory of Armenia, an Armenian contract soldier was killed.
On the morning of May 27, at the border section of the Gegharkunik region of the Republic of Armenia, while carrying out engineering work on the territory of the N military unit of the Armed Forces of Armenia, six servicemen of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan were surrounded and taken prisoner by the servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.
After that, acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, as a way out of the current situation, suggested sending observers from Russia, the United States or France (the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group) to the border between the countries.
