The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia has denied allegations made by Azerbaijan that Armenian forces opened fire on Azerbaijani positions along the border on April 9, Orda reports.
According to Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defence, Armenian armed forces allegedly fired on Azerbaijani positions in two separate incidents:
- Between 19:25 and 19:35, from positions near the Khaznavar and Khanazakh settlements in the Gorus region
- Around 23:50, from the direction of the Mususkand settlement in the Tovuzgala region
In both cases, Azerbaijani forces said they returned fire with "adequate retaliatory measures."
Armenia has reiterated its proposal to establish a joint mechanism between the two countries to investigate ceasefire violations.
The proposal, initially put forward by the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia, reportedly remains unanswered.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms that, in accordance with the position of the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, it stands ready to investigate the facts supporting the statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia, the Ministry stated.
