Artsrun Hovhannisyan, the press secretary of Ministry of Defense of Armenia, yesterday evening warned on his Facebook page that Azerbaijani side is taking up provocative actions on the borderline, which is dangerous for itself. The Azerbaijani units had opened heavy fire from mainly large-caliber weapons at their own borderline villages in Tavush district at the Armenian border, intending to blame it on the Armenian side later.

No wonder that today the Azerbaijani information portal “Haqqin.az,” referring to the TV-channel “RegionTV” reported that the Azerbaijani village Alibeyli in the borderline of district Tovuz had been under fire “by the Armenians from large-caliber weapons.” In the video report the Alibeyli villagers were eagerly demonstrating the holes and the cracks on the walls of their houses to the correspondent claiming that those were the traces from the “Armenian shooting.”

Commenting on the situation in an interview with Panorama.am, the press secretary of Ministry of Defense of Armenia Artsrun Hovhannisyan denied the involvement of the Military forces of the Republic of Armenia in the Tovuz region shooting. “If we see such a reportage prepared in the borderline village during a total informational blockade that exists in Azerbaijan, then this once again comes to prove that this is a simple orchestrated performance,” he stressed.

Note that the above-mentioned Azerbaijani village has borders with Aygepar village in Tavush region.
Yesterday an Azerbaijani sniper had wounded a resident of bordering Movses village of Tavush region of Armenia - 85-year-old Levon Andreasyan.
