Any military provocation against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan will be responded adequately in the future, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated due to the November 16 fighting on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

“The responsibility for the aggravation of situation in the region and creating obstacles for the implementation of the trilateral statement lies directly on the military-political leadership of Armenia,” the document says.

In turn, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Azerbaijan initiated a criminal case due to the shelling of Azerbaijani positions in Lachin and Kelbajar.

As a result of the provocation, seven Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and 10 injured. The military prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case in connection with the mentioned facts under Articles 120.2.12 (murder on motives of national, racial, religious hatred or enmity) and 29, 120.2.12 (attempted murders on motives of national, racial, religious hatred or enmity) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan, the report says.
