Azerbaijan stages provocations on contact line to compensate its failures in diplomacy – spox

Azerbaijan undertakes provocations on the Artsakh-Azerbaijan Line of Contact to compensate its failures of diplomacy and to deviate the attention from the abuses of human rights and fundamental freedoms inside the country, Tigran Balayan, Spokesman of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on his Twitter page. 

“Baku tries to compensate its failures in diplomacy and on international stage, deviate the attention from abuse of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Azerbaijan, by staging provocations on the line of contact. No pasaran!” he tweeted.

To remind, the frontline military units of the Nagorno-Karabakk (Artsakh) Defense Army timely detected an infiltration attempt by an Azerbaijani subversive-intelligence group on January 25, after midnight (at around 02:00).

The adversary targeted a south-eastern military unit (village Kuropatkino), the Artsakh Defense Ministry said in an official statement.

The Azerbaijani special forces were pushed back as a result of preventive measures suffering losses.
