Yerevan, 10 March: The press service of the Defence Ministry of
the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR) reported today that on 9 March
the Azerbaijani units had used fire again in an attempt to get their
posts closer to the frontier of the NKR Defence Army near the Seysulan
settlement of the NKR’s Mardakert District.

A Mediamax correspondent reports from the NKR capital Stepanakert
[Xankandi] that the military of the NKR armed forces opened a
retaliatory fire. As a result of the skirmish, both sides suffered
losses.

The NKR Defence Ministry’s press service alarmed that “despite Nagornyy
Karabakh’s frequent calls, the Azerbaijani military leadership does
not stop provocations which may seriously hurt the situation, both
on the contact line and in the whole region”.

The statement reads that the NKR authorities informed relevant
international organizations about destructive actions of Azerbaijan
and the developments on the demarcation line.

Mediamax recalls that on 7 March on the same part of the contact line
an Azerbaijani intelligence and sabotage group made an attempt to get
into the rear of the NKR Defence Army. However, the NKR military took
necessary measures to neutralize it.
