Edmon Marukyan, Ambassador-at-Large of Armenia, made a post on X—former Twitter—and reflected on the latest provocation by the armed forces of Azerbaijan against Armenia.

“This new attack of Azerbaijan against the sovereign territory of Armenia, which is still ongoing at the moment, is a direct damage to the mediation efforts of the USA, France and EU. It is a direct damage to the ongoing peace negotiation process and a violation of all of Azerbaijan's commitments to date. This aggression must be stopped immediately and the aggressor must be held responsible for the violations of ceasefire and all consequences,” Marukyan wrote.

Earlier, the Armenian Ministry of Defense reported that the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces on Friday opened intense fire in the direction of the Armenian positions located in the areas of Sotk and Norabak villages of Armenia’s Gegharkunik Province. As a result, the Armenian military has four casualties and one wounded.
