Shelling from Territory of Armenia to Be Suppressed - Ministry of Defense, Border Service

Baku / 27.10.20 / Turan: Azerbaijan adheres to the humanitarian truce regime, reacts with restraint to enemy provocations along the entire front, taking adequate measures. This is stated in a joint statement of the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Service of Azerbaijan dated October 27.

“Taking advantage of this, Armenia purposefully aggravates the situation in various directions of the front, especially on the restored sections of the state border of Azerbaijan, preparing the ground for further provocations,” the statement said.

The Armenian leadership must realize and accept that the restored state borders of Azerbaijan are not a conflict zone, but a state border recognized by the international community that defines the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan.

“Any provocation in this direction will be regarded as an act of aggression. Taking this into account, Azerbaijan has the right to destroy any legitimate military objects that threaten its territory, regardless of its location,” the statement of the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Service of Azerbaijan emphasizes. —06D-
