Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a statement on another provocation of the Armenian armed forces in the direction of Kalbajar district.

The statement reads: ‘According to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on January 11, 2022, as a result of provocation committed by the armed forces of Armenia in the direction of Kalbajar district of the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border, the serviceman of the Azerbaijani Army, soldier Ayaz Azer Nazarov was killed.

We strongly condemn the continuation of military provocations by the Armenian side.

By committing another bloody provocation on the state border, instead of taking steps to normalize relations between the two countries, the Armenian military-political leadership is directly responsible for the aggravation of the situation in the region.

May God have mercy on our Martyr!’
