How the situation on the border start? David Tonoyan provides details

At the June 13 special sitting of the government, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan inquired from the RA Minister of Defense Davit Tonoyan about how the enemy started firing in the direction of Tavush, in response to which the Minister mentioned ․

Minister of Defense David Tonoyan – Thank you. Mr. Prime Minister, dear colleagues, yesterday at 12.30 an UAZ car approached one of our positions, for as of yet unknown reasons, Azeri servicemen got out of the car and moved towards our position. I repeat, it is very important for everyone to know that the position is in the territory of the Republic of Armenia just on the state border of the Republic of Armenia.

That movement being unexpected for our troops, they were instructed to call on the Azeri servicemen to leave the territory of the Republic of Armenia, which was complied with. After the Azeri servicemen had regained their positions, the adversary started shelling the aforementioned Armenian position with 82-mm grenade launchers, with several combat groups approaching that very position. The Armenian side retaliated and stopped the provocation.

Suffering losses, the adversary retreated. The same scenario recurred every 15.25 minutes with the use of artillery. The shelling ceased at 03.30 to 05.30 at night. The adversary’s onslaught was silenced by targeted sniper fire, as a result of which the enemy suffered heavy losses.

Our armed forces and the relevant regiment continue to protect the state border. The operative situation is completely under full control.
