BAKU ( WNAM REPORT ): The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan has reported that recently, Armenia has committed provocations in the Kalbajar, using heavy weapons, and in Tovuz, using quadcopters.
The ministry noted that such provocations by Armenia are not the first and have become systematic. The military exercises conducted by the United States in Armenia, the provision of lethal weapons to Armenia by France, and the initial phase of military aid in amount of ten million euros provided to Armenia by the European Union under the guise of the European Peace Facility encourage the occupying state – Armenia to carry out such provocations and indicate its preparation for another war against Azerbaijan.
The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan once again warned that Armenia and its supporters have to refrain from creating a new conflict zone in the South Caucasus region. If these provocative actions against Azerbaijan are not stopped, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan will take necessary response measures using all means at their disposal for the purposes of self-defense.
The ministry declared that military-political leadership of Armenia and its supporters will bear whole responsibility for the escalation of the situation in the region.
