Armenian serviceman killed by Azerbaijani fire in Yeraskh
Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia’s Ministry of Defense has reported that an Armenian serviceman has been fatally wounded today at about 11.10AM by Azerbaijani fire.
“The units of the Azerbaijani armed forces resorted to another provocation opening fire from firearms and sniper rifles in the direction of Armenian positions in Ararat province, in particular, Yeraskh section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border as a result of which contract serviceman of the Armenian Armed Forces, junior sergeant Gegham Sahakyan, born in 1982, has received a fatal gunshot wound.
The Ministry of Defense strongly condemns the actions of the Azerbaijani side and warns that they will not remain without response. Azerbaijani military-political leadership bears the full responsibility for the aggravation of the situation,” Armenia’s MOD said in a statement.
