The Defense Ministry of the Artsakh Republic commented on the statement by Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s spokesman Eldar Sabiruglu, who alleged that the Armenian servicemen were killed not by Azeri snipers but as result of a skirmish inside the military unit.
“Such statements are a brazen lie. Sabiroglu seems to have confused the incidents taking place in his own army. Armenian servicemen were killed by sniper fire,” Artsakh Defense Ministry’s spokesman, colonel Senor Hasratyan said.
“Azerbaijan will be given an adequate response for the ongoing violations of ceasefire and provocative acts. It will live in fear,” he added.
As a result of Azerbaijani firing, an NKR soldier was wounded and died on the way to hospital on April 28. On the next day, two servicemen were killed by snipers.
