A serviceman of the Azerbaijan Army killed as a result of another provocation of Armenia

Baku/20.05.18/Turan: On May 20, a serviceman of the Azerbaijan Army soldier Tatarov Adil Ali was killed during the fulfillment of the combat mission to suppress another provocation of the enemy on the Nakhchivan section of the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border.

The leadership of the Ministry of Defense expresses deep condolences to the family and relatives of the Shahid (martyr)!

The Ministry of Defense does not exclude that newly appointed Defense and Foreign Ministers of Armenia, who visited the line of contact of the troops in this direction a few days ago, are responsible for the committing of this provocation.

The leadership of Armenia should know that the heroic defenders of Nakhchivan will soon avenge the martyr.

In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan accused Armenia of escalating tension on the contact line of the troops. Instead of holding meetings with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, the Armenian Foreign Minister, who visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border, encourages a tense situation on the front line and provocation, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev said. He said that in connection with the current situation, the responsibility lies entirely with Armenia.

This provocation is further evidence that Armenia's statements about its commitment to a peaceful solution to the conflict are "a disguise of its predatory policy," Hajiyev said.-06d--
