Panorama
Armenia – July 5 2022

The Azerbaijani military opened fire at Armenian positions in the western section of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border near the village of Khachik in Vayots Dzor Province late on Monday, the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

Shots were also fired at the road leading to the village, damaging the car of the village mayor, Hovik Smbatyan.

The Azerbaijani troops also used large-caliber firearms, the ministry said.

“The Azerbaijani fire was suppressed after Armenia’s retaliatory measures. There are no casualties on the Armenian side,” the statement said.

Earlier, the village head turned down a request from Panorama.am to comment on the shooting reports, urging it to contact the Defense Ministry.

Emil Lazarian: “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
