YEREVAN. – At the threshold of April 24, the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, Azerbaijan will attempt to “provide service” to Turkey in the form of border incidents.

The secretary of Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party National Assembly Faction, Tevan Poghosyan, stated the aforesaid at a press conference on Saturday.

Reflecting on the most recent act of sabotage by Azerbaijan, the MP said this is not the first time that 18-19-year-old Armenian soldiers prove that they are not inferior to the Azerbaijani professional military that has undergone training in Turkey.

Poghosyan expressed the hope that the day will come when there will be specially developed equipment, and not people, in the frontline.

“The Armenian army performs its tasks in full,” the MP added.

As reported earlier, an enhanced team from Azerbaijan’s special military detachment launched an attack, on Thursday at around 8:30am, on the NKR Defense Army positions stationed in a northerly (Gyulistan) direction.

As a result of the skirmish that lasted about two hours, the Armenian military position holders and the relief forces compelled the adversary to flee. Subsequently, they pursued the said Azerbaijani military team and completely crushed them nearby their own military position.

Unfortunately, NKR Defense Army servicemen Hakob Khachatryan (born in 1996), Eduard Hayrapetyan (born in 1995), and Arshak Harutyunyan (born in 1995) died, and four others were wounded while confronting the adversary.
