The situation in the frontline between the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops remains unstable, and the Armenian side continues to use this in its false statements in an attempt to denigrate the Azerbaijani Army.

Recently, the Armenian media reported that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces allegedly fired on Armenian villages located near the state border between two countries. However, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry has refuted this false news.

“This kind of news published by the Armenian government is aimed at deceiving different countries in the military alliance by bringing them to its ugly adventure and justify its provocations against Azerbaijani civilians residing in border villages,” the ministry told APA on July 24.

The Armenian armed forces themselves shell Azerbaijani villages, its civilian population, and this was proved in early July, when two Azerbaijani civilians living in the border village of Alkhanly – Sahiba Allahverdiyeva and her two-year-old granddaughter Zahra Guliyeva ­– were killed by an Armenian shell.

Today, Armenia continues such provocations against Azerbaijani civilian population. The Defence Ministry said that the Kamarli and Gaymagli villages of Azerbaijan’s Gazakh region and the Kohanabi, Agbulag, and Aghdam villages of Tovuz region have been fired on by the Armenian armed forces from guns of different calibers.

“As a result, civilian facilities in the settlements, sown areas and private farms were damaged,” the Ministry said, noting that the enemy was silenced immediately with retaliatory fire.

Armenia’s criminal-political regime is fully responsible for the tension in the frontline and its consequences. The Armenian government, instead of coming to the negotiating table with Azerbaijan to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, continues to shell Azerbaijani positions and villages daily, thus preserving fragility in the region.
