It is not ruled out that Yerevan may petition to the CSTO for assistance, despite the fact that the situation on the border with Azerbaijan has stabilized. Armenian Ambassador to Russia Vardan Toghanyan told RIA Novosti about this.

"It's hard to say. It depends on how the situation will develop. We have what we have. We will see how the events unroll," the ambassador added.

At around 1pm on Tuesday, the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces attacked the Armenian positions located in the direction of the eastern border of Armenia. Also, the adversary used artillery, armored vehicles, and firearms of various calibers in this attack.

And according to the agreement reached through the mediation of the Russian side, the exchange of fire was stopped at 6:30pm, and the situation has relatively stabilized.

The Armenian side has one fallen and 13 captured servicemen. Also, the contact with another 24 soldiers was lost during the hostilities, and their fate is unknown at the moment.
