ԱվելինAzerbaijani armed forces opened fire against the Armenian positions
On the night of April 6th and April 7th, the units of the armed forces of Azerbaijan opened fire between 22:45 and 00:25 near Khoznavar (Syunik Province), at 22:45-00:48 near Aravus (Syunik Province), and on April 7th at 02:20 in Sotk (Gegharkunik Province), targeting the combat positions of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.

ԱվելինAzerbaijani side opened fire against the Armenian combat positions
On the night of April 5-6, the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces initiated firing towards Armenian combat positions, utilizing small arms of various calibers. The intensity of the firing varied across several directions of the border. Specifically, firing occurred towards the combat positions near Sotk (Gegharkunik Province) between 22:25 -22:50, near Verin Shorzha (Gegharkunik Province) at 23:15, near Kut (Gegharkunik Province) at 00:15, near Aravus (Syunik Province) between 23:15-23:20, near Chinari (Tavush Province) between 23:05-23:20, near Movses (Tavush Province) between 00:15-01:20. It is noteworthy that the majority of the Azerbaijani armed forces' firing during the night was non-targeted and irregular. The units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia observed significant vehicle movements of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces towards Ishkhanasar between 21:00 and 23:00. The aforementioned actions by the Azerbaijani side were evidently provocative, aiming to elicit similar counteractions by the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia to substantiate Azerbaijani disinformation in recent times. Assessing the situation, the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia refrained from actions that could contribute to further escalation, leading to the calming of the situation along the border. The Ministry of Defence also reports that the Azerbaijani propaganda apparatus disseminated disinformation yesterday, misrepresenting the routine rotation of Armenian Armed Forces units as front-line concentration. The relevant unit of the RA Ministry of Defence, which monitors and analyzes open sources, has observed an increase in the dissemination of disinformation by the Azerbaijani press regarding Armenian media in recent days. Hence, we urge our compatriots to remain vigilant and rely on official news sources. The Ministry of Defence adequately informs and will continue to inform the public about developments along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and contact line.

ԱվելինThe Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan continues to disseminate disinformation
The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan continues to disseminate disinformation, alleging that the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia are actively concentrating, actively moving personnel, armored vehicles, artillery, and other weaponry in various directions along the border. Additionally, the Azerbaijani MoD has released edited videos depicting engineering, fortification, and construction activities of infrastructure of defensive nature and purpose in general undertaken in recent months in the rear protection areas of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, thus trying to present it as intensive activities and troop build-ups along the front lines in the last few days. The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia asserts that the implementation of engineering works within the sovereign territory of Armenia is the exclusive sovereign right of the Republic of Armenia. These activities are purely defensive and are aimed at safeguarding the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia. As previously stated, the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia deems the operational situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border to be stable. Consequently, the MoD does not perceive the necessity to implement additional measures for border protection. Therefore, the information regarding troop concentration is not reflective of the current reality.

ԱվելինStatement
The statement released by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan regarding the alleged concentrations and active movements of personnel, armored vehicles, artillery, and other fire means by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia in various directions of the boarder doesn’t correspond to reality. Additionally, the Armenian Ministry of Defence reports that on March 30, photographs of a motorcade of recruit drivers of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia as part of the training process were disseminated in a number of Telegram channels, attempting to portray them as a military movement towards the borders, which is untrue. The RA Ministry of Defence assesses the recent operational situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border as stable and does not perceive the need to implement additional measures to protect the border.
