The statement which the Azerbaijan Ministry of Defense press service released on Sunday, and according to which Azerbaijani army soldier Fikret Bashirov was killed from the shot fired from the Armenian side, is false.
Azerbaijan used mortars at night
STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 16, ARTSAKHPRESS:The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Armynoted the aforesaid in a statement.
“We advise the Azerbaijani side to seek the causes of the death of the military serviceman in the improper interpersonal relationships that rein in their army,” the statement also reads.
In addition, the adversary continued violating the ceasefire along the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces, also from late Sunday night to early Monday morning.
Aside from shooting weaponry, the NKR Defense military outposts in the eastern and northeastern parts were subjected also to intense shelling, toward which the Azerbaijani army fired 54 shells from mortars.
To quell this “activeness” by the adversary, however, the Artsakh defense army vanguard units took actions in response at some sectors.
“The full accountability for the consequences of the further aggravation of the situation at the frontline shall fall upon the Azerbaijani side,” the NKR Defense Army statement also reads: “If such demeanor by the adversary continues, the actions to be taken by the DA will be more severe."
