RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan reports։

At least 3 undeniable facts about Azerbaijani criminal shootings in Gegharkunik:

1. The shootings are provoked by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, which are located in the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia.
2. The Azerbaijani shootings are in the immediate vicinity of the villages of Armenia, as well as in their direction.
3. The Armenian Armed Forces protect the rights, life and peace of our residents.

Earlier The Human Rights defender wrote that: The Human Rights Defender of the Republic of Armenia received alarms from the civil settlement called Verin Shorzha, a village in the RA Gegharkunik region, that the Azerbaijani armed forces started firing intensively this morning, between 03:30 and 03:40.

All the alarms are that the Azerbaijani servicemen are firing directly at their settlements. According to the residents, the shooting in the direction of the village is prevented only due to the retaliatory shooting of the RA Armed Forces.

In recent days, the Human Rights Defender’s Office has been regularly receiving alarms from residents that Azerbaijani servicemen are constantly firing at the villages of Verin Shorzha and Kut in the Gegharkunik region, disrupting the peaceful life of the entire village. These shots can always be prevented only due to the retaliatory shots of the RA servicemen.
