The information disseminated by the Azerbaijani media regarding the alleged opening of fire by Armenian border guards on the Kapan-Zangelan section of the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border on February 12 is under investigation. Written orders from the superior command clearly define the circumstances under which a serviceman is permitted or obligated to open fire. Preliminary findings indicate that no such situation occurred in this area on February 12. If this is confirmed, those responsible for violating the orders will be held accountable.
