The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in the evening on August 1, the Nagorno-Karabakh’s MoD announced that its militaries had suppressed the attempts of Azerbaijani soldiers to cross the contact line. The Azerbaijani MoD has refuted this information. Later, the Nagorno-Karabakh’s MoD also stated that information about the hostilities on the contact line of the Karabakh conflict zone, circulated in media and social networks, has nothing to do with reality. Last night, it became known about the wounding of a serviceman of the Defence Army of Nagorno-Karabakh.
“As of 9:00 a.m. on August 2, the situation on the contact line had not undergone significant changes; the tension persists. The leadership of the Republic of Artsakh (the self-name of Nagorno-Karabakh, – note of the “Caucasian Knot”), together with the commands of the Defence Army and Russian peacemakers, are taking steps to reduce the tension and prevent further escalation,” the Nagorno-Karabakh’s MoD said in the statement sent today to the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.
A source from the administration of the Vank sub-district of the Martakert District, which includes the Nareshtar community, told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent that the night was tense, but relatively calm; the situation was controlled by the Nagorno-Karabakh’s Defence Army and peacemakers.
