Units of the Armenian armed forces along the border with
Azerbaijan shelled positions of the army, Azernews reports via the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.
Units of the Armenian armed forces from positions in the
direction of the settlements of Istisu and Gunashli of Basarkechar
region periodically fired from 2215 (GMT+4) November 22 to 0115
November 23 on the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the
direction of Istisu settlement of Kalbajar District and Astaf
settlement of Dashkasan District using small arms of various
calibers.
'Moreover, on November 22 from 1548 to 1820, members of the
illegal Armenian armed formation on the territory of Azerbaijan,
where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed, periodically
fired at the positions of the Azerbaijani army in Shusha and Tartar
directions. Azerbaijani units took adequate retaliatory measures in
the mentioned directions,' the ministry said.
Units of the Azerbaijani Army stationed in these directions took
adequate retaliatory measures.
Armenia shells Azerbaijani military positions along the state
border on a regular basis. Since early September, Azerbaijani
positions have been repeatedly targeted by the Armenian forces.
The biggest border clashes between the sides since the 44-day
war in 2020 started during the night of September 12 to 13, when
the Armenian armed forces carried out large-scale provocations
along the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border in Dashkasan, Kalbajar,
and Lachin directions.
Following the October 6 meeting in Prague between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders under the auspices of EU Council
President Charles Michel and French President Emmanuel Macron, all
sides reiterated their commitment to peace talks while recognizing
each other's territorial integrity.
