The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia has issued a statement, which says ․

“In the early morning of 12 May, the Azerbaijani armed forces, on the grounds of” adjustment of border”, tried to carry out certain work in one of the border areas of Syunik. After the measures taken by the Armenian subdivisions, the Azerbaijani military stopped that work. Negotiations are underway to resolve the situation.

The information spread in the press “about the battles in the direction of Ishkhanasar does not correspond to reality. In case of such developments, the Ministry of Defense would have been be the first to make a statement. We urge to refrain from publishing unverified, especially panic-spreading information.”

As we have already informed , the deputy mayor of Goris Irina Yolyan told us that there were no shots and wounded, but the enemy came forward.

“If 30% of Ishkhanasar was theirs by GPS, 70% was ours, now they feel so privileged that they have crossed the three-kilometer state border and come forward. It is not 100, 200, 300 meters, they came to Verishen settlement by kilometers. I say this according to the information of the last 3 hours, if it happened earlier, I do not know, but in the last hours we are in constant contact with the administrative head,” the deputy said mayor.

In response to our question, how did the enemy cross the RA state border without firing? Irina Yolyan answered․ “This question should be asked to the competent bodies, when we see movement, we see problematic situations, we constantly alert about it, but when the competent bodies, which are responsible for security and the denial comes after the denial, they constantly deny the situation. And one day we still see what is happening.”
