Baku/12.08.21/Turan: On the evening of August 11 and on the night of August 12, skirmishes on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border continued in three directions.
The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan informed about the shelling of positions towards the villages of Zamanli and Garavellar, the Gedabey region, and the village of Zeylik, the Kalbajar region.
In turn, the Armenian side reported the shelling of its positions in the Yeraskh area. No casualties on either side are reported.
The latest developments take place amidst the second visit of Armenian Defense Minister Karapetyan to Moscow and his loud statements about his country's readiness to give a military rebuff to Azerbaijan.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu indirectly supported Karapetyan's bellicose statements declaring his readiness to support the modernization of the Armenian army.
Immediately after that, the Armenian Foreign Ministry announced that " the Artsakh Defense Army is a security factor and, together with the peacekeepers, ensures the security and the right to life of the people of Artsakh."
According to the statement of November 9, the withdrawal of Armenian units affects deals solely with the territories around Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Armenian side has fully complied with items of the statement.
In so doing, official Yerevan responded to yesterday's statement of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry that Russian peacekeepers are letting units of the Armenian Armed Forces into Karabakh.
At the same time, there were reports about the deployment of Russian border guards in the two Azerbaijani enclaves occupied by Armenians in the early 90s on the border between Gazakh and Tavush.
In other words, stepping-up of all these processes might testify to uncontrolled rise in tensions and to a previously engineered scenario that should end with the beginning of the demarcation and delimitation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. An alternative to this will be a new aggravation of the situation in Karabakh to inevitably result in new territorial losses for the Armenians. - 02B
