[KavkazUzel] Armenian army units did not fire at Azerbaijani positions on the border with Nakhichevan, the military department in Yerevan said in response to a statement by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry. As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, today Azerbaijan announced shelling of its positions in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. According to the military department in Baku, the shelling was recorded on April 7 at about 17.15 local time (16.15 Moscow time). Units of the Armenian armed forces opened fire on the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the direction of the settlement of Shada in the Shahbuz region, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said. The report of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense that on April 7 at 1715 (16.15 Moscow time) units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire on Azerbaijani positions located in the southwestern part of the border zone is not true, according to a release published on the website of the Armenian Ministry of Defense. Let us remind you that earlier today Azerbaijan stated that the Armenian military fired at Azerbaijani positions on the border 16 times. Yerevan responded with a counter accusation of shelling the positions of the Armenian military in the Syunik and Gegharkunik regions. On March 31, Azerbaijan accused Armenia of amassing military equipment to the contact line. Yerevan denied these statements, accusing Baku of disinformation and publishing edited footage. On April 2, as well as April 5 and 6, Baku and Yerevan also exchanged accusations of shelling. Related: Nakhichevan: 2023-09-09 Under the sign of an inverted 'A'.
