We condemn Azerbaijan’s aggression against Armenia

On September 13, around 00:05, subdivisions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, using artillery, mortars and drones, opened intense fire at the Armenian positions located in several parts of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at once. In particular, the positions located in the direction of Sotk, Vardenis, Goris, Kapan, Artanish and Ishkhanasar were shelled. Civilian infrastructures are also being fired.

 

The situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border continues to remain extremely tense. The firefight, which began as a result of a large-scale provocation by the Azerbaijani side, continues with unabating intensity. The enemy continues intensive shelling from artillery, mortars, drones and large-caliber guns both at military and civilian infrastructures. There are 49 casualties on the Armenian side.
