The situation is calm at present in the Armenian villages near the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, and the material losses—as a result of last night’s shootings—are minor, the prefects of the affected villages told Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

“There is tranquility, sun, normalcy; we laugh about the night’s events, everything is normal, they were ordinary shootings, but our army stands, and the borders are solid,” Chinari village head Samvel Saghoyan said.        

He stressed that they have no human casualties, and there are only minor material damage which always happen.    

Movses village prefect Ararat Avalyan informed that he traveled around the village early in the morning, and that there are minor material damage, but life is normal as usual.    

Nerkin Karmraghbyur village head Manvel Kamendatyan stated that shots were fired until 4am, but the situation is calm subsequently and at present, and the village school and kindergarten are open.

“The roofs and walls were damaged, but these occur during all shootings,” Kamendatyan added.      

Regular shots were fired Thursday night at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, in the direction of the villages of Armenia’s Tavush Region. Azerbaijan broke the ceasefire agreement close to 200 times. As a result of the shooting, a 16-year-old girl, by the name of Liana, was wounded in Aygepar village. But the bullet has been removed from her leg, and she is doing fine.
