The leadership of the Ministry of Defense wishes the wounded soldier a speedy recovery.
The opposite side was suppressed by the retaliation fire of the units of the Combined Arms Army.
The Azerbaijani Army fully controls the operational situation.
We declare that Armenia bears full responsibility for the relative aggravation of the situation in the Nakhchivan section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border. We call on the Armenian side to refrain from provocations and other steps that may aggravate the situation and to act responsibly.
