NKR's MoD accuses Azerbaijani armed forces of sabotage

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) has reported on an attempt of sabotage undertaken by the Azerbaijani armed forces at the contact line.

"At night, at 4:40 a.m. of April 3, on the contact line in the southern direction in the Karabakh conflict zone, the Azerbaijani armed force undertook an attempt of diversion reconnaissance with the use of a device for demining antipersonnel mines. Soldiers of the Defence Army have taken appropriate measures, and the enemy, carrying losses, stepped back into the positions," the press service of the MoD of the NKR reports. It is noted that nobody suffered from the Karabakh side.

Today, the MoD of Azerbaijan has declared that the information disseminated by electronic media of Armenia and stating that the Azerbaijani armed forces have made a provocation on the contact line and as a result suffered losses does not correspond to reality.

After a series of armed incidents between young soldiers called from Armenia and the Armenian population living in the NKR, Armenia is once again trying to shift the blame on Azerbaijan. "Without any doubts, the incident that occurred last night was from that category," the "Trend" quotes the message of the MoD as stating.
