Armenia’s Ministry of Defense has issued an official statement, voicing its concerns over the increased tension along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact.
The Ministry says that the adversary attempted to infiltrate into the defense positions of Nagorno-Karabakh’s armed forces overnight in an effort to seize military posts, using tanks, artillery and military aircrafts.
Nagorno-Karabakh’s Defense Army managed to push back the attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the adversary. The defense operations continue.
The Ministry strongly condemns the unprecedented aggression, declaring that Azerbaijan’s politico-military leadership bears the entire responsibility for the losses and damages caused.
The Ministry calls upon the international community, especially the OSCE Minsk Group, to focus the necessary attention on the frontline tension, anticipating an urgent intervention to keep the situation under control and avoid large-scale military operations.
