Reacting to recent reports of Azerbaijani shooting towards Syunik Province, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of Armenia, in response to a question from RFE/RL Armenian service, reports that irregular, non-targeted shooting is sometimes recorded along the border with Azerbaijan.

At the same time, the Armenian MoD emphasizes that “in case of intensive, significant or, in other words, purposeful or targeted violations of the ceasefire, we are making official statements.”

“When there is targeted shooting, such as on March 31 in the direction of a residential house in Khnatsakh village of Syunik Province, the Ministry of Defense properly reports about it,” the ministry reported, emphasizing that “the defense department [of Armenia] has a clear information policy, which is based on various circumstances and analyses.”
