Interfax News Agency, Russia
April 28 2008
The Armenian Defense Ministry denies Azerbaijani reports claiming it
allegedly breached the ceasefire, ministry press secretary Col. Seyran
Shahsuvarian told Interfax.
Azerbaijani media reports claiming there was an exchange of gunfire
were wrong, he said. "That was another Azerbaijani canard," he said.
Azerbaijani media reported on Monday, with reference to the Defense
Ministry, that Armenian troops breached the ceasefire on April 27-28.
The media reported that Azerbaijani positions were shelled from unnamed
heights in the Fizuli and Gadabay districts, a location close to the
village of Tapgaragounlu in the Goranboy district, the village of
Kuropatkino and an unnamed height in the Khojavend district and the
villages of Merzili, and Yusifjanly in the Agdam region.
In addition, Armenian troops positioned in the Berd and Ijevan
districts of Armenia fired at Azerbaijani positions in the Tovuz and
Qazakh districts. They were using machine guns and submachine guns. No
one was hurt, the media reported.
