Armenia fires on Azerbaijani positions amid escalating tensions

The ministry stated that Armenian positions in the village of Yukhari Shorja, Basargechar district, targeted Azerbaijani positions in Yellija. In response, Azerbaijani forces did not retaliate, aiming to prevent escalation and maintain stability at the border. The statement called on Armenia's military leadership to refrain from actions that could destabilize the region and demanded the identification and punishment of those responsible for the provocation.

Accusations Against Azerbaijan

Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry responded to Pashinyan's interview with France 24, where he levied unfounded accusations against Azerbaijan, aiming to intentionally escalate tensions and undermine the peace process.

The ministry criticized the choice of France for these statements, interpreting it as a disregard for Germany's efforts and an indicator of France's continued negative impact on the peace process.

Pashinyan had claimed that Azerbaijan was preparing for an attack against Armenia, accusing it of violating international law norms, distorting facts, and deceiving the international community.
