BAKU (Sputnik) – The Armenian military opened fire at Azerbaijani positions in the country’s Tovuz region on Thursday, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said.

“On 18 November starting from 14:10 [10:10 GMT], Armenian Armed Forces units from positions in the direction of the village of Chinarli in the Shamshaddin district using small arms once again subjected Azerbaijan Army positions to intensive fire in the direction of the village of Kokhanebi in the Tovuz district”, the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry also said that there were no losses among Azerbaijani soldiers, while the “opposing side was suppressed by retaliation fire”.
The reports emerged amid a new round of clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces, as Baku and Yerevan accuse each other of breaching their agreements in Karabakh. Armenia accused Azerbaijan of violating the border and unilaterally starting a military op on its territory, while Baku stated that it was responding to an Armenian “provocation” in the area.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
