Rome [ENA] An armed confrontation took place on Sunday 12 July afternoon on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani defense ministry claimed that their positions have been attacked by artillery shots by the Armenian military. According to reports from the Azerbaijani military ministry, there are victims on both sides. The Armenian Ministry of Defense reported an attempt by the Azerbaijani military

to seize one of the border guard points. According to reports from the Azerbaijani side, two soldiers fell in the clash and five were injured. At about noon on 12 July, Armenian armed forces units, seriously violating the ceasefire in the section of the Azeri-Armenian state border of the Tovuz district, attacked Azerbaigiani positions. Yesterday President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has chaired a meeting of the Security Council.   The head of state addressed the meeting.

The head of state addressed the meeting.  Here’s the speech of President Ilham Aliyev:  “Armenia committed yet another military provocation in the direction of Tovuz on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border. This is not the first time Armenia has committed military provocations on the state border. As a result of these military provocations in the last few months, our servicemen, as well as civilians, have been killed. Several of our servicemen were killed as a result of another provocation yesterday afternoon. Artillery fire was opened at our military post, and as a result of this insidious act, our servicemen were killed and wounded. May Allah rest our martyrs in peace and send healing to our wounded soldiers.  

I can say that yet another provocation of Armenia was resolutely prevented and adequately rebuffed. The death of our soldiers has been avenged. All the attempts of the Armenian side failed, Azerbaijan protected its state border and Armenian soldiers could not cross even an inch into Azerbaijani territory.   The situation on the border continues to be tense. I was in touch with all relevant agencies and commanders last night. I was informed early this morning too that the situation on the border has not stabilized. All the responsibility lies squarely with the military-political leadership of Armenia. Such events occur because of the hypocritical and dishonest activities of the Armenian leadership.

Relevant appeals have been sent to international organizations, and as soon as the operational situation permits, we will invite foreign military representatives operating in Azerbaijan to the area so that they can see the situation with their own eyes. Let them see who committed this military provocation, what happened as a result of this military provocation and who is responsible for the escalation of the situation. Ours is a cause of justice and Azerbaijan will not take a step back from its principled position.

I want to say again that the enemy received an adequate response yesterday and this night. Our servicemen have been avenged and we will continue to do so in the future. The blood of our servicemen and martyrs does not and will not remain on the ground. We will use every opportunity to defend ourselves and show the enemy its place again”.
