About Escalation of Tension on Armenia-Azerbaijan Border

According to Armenia’s defense ministry, on Sunday morning, July 12, the Azerbaijani armed forces twice took aggressive actions against Armenia, trying to violate the state border of Armenia in the Tavush region and capture the strong point, having suffered losses. In the evening, the Azerbaijani side resumed artillery shelling in the direction of the same position from a 82 mm caliber mortar and tank.

On Monday morning, Shushan Stepanyan, the spokesperson for the ministry, said that after two or three hours of calm, the enemy continued shelling the Armenian positions, to which the Armenian armed forces gave a proportionate response. According to the republic’s defense department, on the Armenian side, as a result of the shelling, two policemen, who were on alert, received light injuries. Hayk Chobanyan, the governor of the Tavush province, reported on three wounded servicemen.

The head of the Armenian Ministry of Defense Davit Tonoyan said that shelling of Armenian positions from Azerbaijan continues with a certain periodicity, but is suppressed by sniper fire, resulting in significant losses to the enemy. On Monday afternoon, Azerbaijani forces fired seven shells from 82 mm and 102 mm mortars in the village of Chinari in the Tavush region. There were no injuries. The roof of one of the houses was damaged.

On Tuesday night, Armenian forces suppressed enemy tank activity. In the morning, the Armenian Ministry of Defense announced the attack of enemy drones on the city of Byrd.
Concern over the escalation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border was expressed, in particular, by the Russian Foreign Ministry and EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the Crisis in Georgia, Toivo Klaar.

On Monday, the CSTO website reported that in connection with the aggravation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the CSTO Secretary General Stanislav Zas initiated an emergency meeting of the CSTO Permanent Council on July 13. However, later this message was removed from the website, and CSTO Spokesman Vladimir Zainetdinov told Azatutyun Radio that it was postponed indefinitely for consultations between the parties, and also because of the need to clarify the format of discussions. ---0---
