YEREVAN. – The border situation remains tense, and the adversary intensively violates the ceasefire, the Armenia defense minister’s press secretary, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He noted that Azerbaijan continues to keep the situation tense at the Nagorno-Karabakh and the Armenia—Tavush Region—sector, alike, by frequently violating the ceasefire.

Furthermore, as per Hovhannisyan, the adversary also has made use of mine throwers several times, and this is basically a new level of tension.

Artsrun Hovhannisyan added, however, that the Armenian side has responded to these violations.
