BAKU, June 8 (Itar-Tass) — One serviceman was killed and another was wounded in Armenian shooting at Azerbaijani positions in the Fizuli district of Southwest Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday.
The ministry said that Azerbaijani positions came under large-caliber machinegun fire in the Kazakh district in the country’s west as well. The shooting stopped only after Azerbaijani servicemen opened fire, the ministry said.
The ministry bluntly denied Armenian claims of alleged movement of Azerbaijani units in the conflict zone.
Meanwhile, press secretary of the Armenian defense minister Col. Seiran Shakhsuvaryan told Itar-Tass that Azerbaijani units tried to take more advantageous positions on the border near Berkaber village of Armenia’s Tavush district in the small hours of Monday.
He said Armenian units tried to stop Azerbaijani soldiers from moving towards a local pump station and the soldiers opened fire at the village. “Armenian units had to suppress the Azerbaijani fire,” he said. Shakhsuvaryan said that none of the Armenian servicemen was killed or wounded.
