Yerevan, 6 July: About 70 representatives of the Armenian media have
paid a one-day visit to the border region where the 3rd army corps of
the Armenian armed forces is deployed.

The press service of the Armenian Defence Ministry told a Noyan Tapan
correspondent that the reason for visiting the border section in
Tavush District was a truce violation by the Azerbaijani side. Two
cases of that have also been registered in the area of a pump station
close to the village of Berkaber of Idzhevan Region [northeast
Armenia], where two Armenian servicemen were killed in the enemy fire.

After these incidents there were rumours about the growth of tension
between the Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces along the contact
line. To refute that, the administration of the Defence Ministry
organized this visit.
