News from Al-Madinah: The Azerbaijani army claimed today, on Sunday, that the Armenian army had fired on its border locations, but Irvan quickly denied this, stating that Baku’s claims are only a “effort to increase tension on the border.”
In a statement, the Azerbaijani defence said: “Last night, units of the Armed Forces fired from their positions intermittently on the sites of the Azerbaijani army.”
The Azerbaijani army troops stationed in such directions, she continued, “made proper response actions.”
The Armenian Ministry of Defense, on the other hand, claimed in a statement that its troops “did not open fire towards the Azerbaijani sites,” adding that “the daily publication of such incorrect information by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense is nothing more than an attempt to create tension on the border.”
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, requested a meeting between Nicole Pashinian, the prime minister of Armenia, and Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, in order to resolve differences.
The Press Office of the Armenian Council of Ministers confirmed, last Friday, that Yerevan and Baku pledged again to adhere to the documents according to which they admitted regional safety and sovereignty for each of them.
This announcement came in the wake of the talks between the Armenian Prime Minister, the Azerbaijani President, French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President Charles Michel, which was held last week.
A few days ago, allegations were traded between Armenia and Azerbaijan regarding a shooting incident on their shared border.
According to what the parties concerned said during the Quartet with France in Prague, the European Union stated that it will deploy a “civil mission” to Armenia along the border with Azerbaijan “to develop confidence” between the two nations and help with the demarcation of the borders.
