YEREVAN, March 20. /ARKA/. The responsibility for the escalation following the Azeri military provocation lies fully with Azerbaijan’s leadership, the press secretary of Armenia’s foreign ministry Tigran Balayan said in commenting Azerbaijani commandos’ attack on Karabakh positions yesterday, Novosti-Armenia reported.
On Thursday March 19 at 08:30 local time an Azerbaijani special forces squad attacked Karabakh positions deployed in the northern direction (Gulistan). After nearly two-hour battle Karabakh troops made the Azeri squad run away. Then they pursued and completely destroyed it on the outskirts of the enemy positions. Three Karabakh army of defense soldiers were killed and another four were wounded, two of them in critical but stable condition in hospital now.
Once again Baku has demonstrated apparent disrespect toward global community’s calls to refrain from violence, says the statement. Baku’s adventurism threatens the security and stability in the region, Balayan said.
“We strictly condemn raid attempts of the Azerbaijani military to intrude Nagorno-Karabakh that led to casualties. We deeply share the grief of the families and colleagues of the killed soldiers”, the press secretary said.
The press office of Karabakh ministry of defense got confirmed information on at least two Azerbaijani military killed and one wounded as of yesterday. The enemy left various arms and ammunition on the field of battle, including AK gun machine with Israeli-made night sight and suppressor, special pioneer equipment, four Mukha grenade launchers, and etc. –0--
