Azerbaijan launches attacks on Armenian positions: Armenian side suffers losses

Azerbaijan continues its actions to destabilize the situation on the border.

Along the Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh borders Azerbaijani troops continue their attacking tactic, Spokesman for Armenia’s Ministry of Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote on his Facebook page.

Despite their numerous losses, Azerbaijani armed forces continue committing tactically senseless acts of sabotage, concealing the real information on their own losses. More than 300 ceasefire violations are committed in a night.

On Friday, at 9:00am, Azerbaijani special squads launched an attack on a number of positions in Berd, Tavush region of Armenia. An encounter of about 30 minutes took place. The adversary suffered losses and failed to accomplish the task. A number of servicemen were injured.

Regrettably, the Armenian side suffered losses as well. Lieutenant Karen A. Galstyan and private Artak V. Sargsyan were killed.

Armenia’s Ministry of Defense offers its condolences to the killed servicemen’s relatives and friends.

Azerbaijan’s political and military leadership is fully responsible for the border tension.
