The information being disseminated on social networks and various media, according to which the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces carried out a provocation on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border on Wednesday as a result of which one serviceman was killed and another was wounded on the Armenian side, does not correspond to reality. Armenian News-NEWS.am has learned about this from the Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Armenia.

Earlier today, the MOD announced that at around 9:10pm on Wednesday, Private Albert Siroyan (born in 2002), a conscript of a military unit of Armenia, was found dead—with a gunshot wound to the jaw—in a combat position located in the southeastern direction of the country. An investigation is underway to fully find out the circumstances of this incident.
