Nagorno-Karabakh accuses Azeri militaries of provocations

The Defence Army of Nagorno-Karabakh has suppressed the attempts of Azerbaijani militaries to cross the contact line, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the unrecognized republic has reported. The Azerbaijan MoD has refuted this statement.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the parties to the Karabakh conflict are periodically blaming each other of shelling. On July 31, the Azeri MoD announced shelling of its positions deployed near the village of Amiranlar in the Khodjavend District (the Armenian name for Khodjavend is Martuni) from the territory where Russian peacemakers are stationed. The MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh has called this information untrue.

As reported by the press service of the Nagorno-Karabakh's MoD, on August 1, in a number of sections of the northern and north-western border sections of the unrecognized republic, Azerbaijani units undertook provocations, attempting to cross the contact line, which were suppressed by the Defence Army. "There are no losses on the Armenian side. The situation remains tense," the Nagorno-Karabakh's MoD said in its statement.

The Azerbaijani MoD has rejected the information about the shootout in Nagorno-Karabakh.
