There occurred a clash between the Azerbaijani and Armenian soldiers
on the night of Sunday.

Azerbaijani army soldier Orkhan Shamilov died in the result of fire
at Azerbaijani positions by Armenians, locating in the occupied lands
of Azerbaijan, said spokesman for Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan
Eldar Sabiroghlu.

He noted that Shamilov, being on the army duty, tried to silence
the enemy.

By the information, in several minutes of fire exchange, Shamilov,
continuing the fire, raised on attack. In the result, he managed to
terminate two soldiers. Shamilov died.

The enemy managed to take the killed soldiers from the fire exchange
zone, while Shamilov’s body was left near positions of the Armenian
armed forces and the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan tries to get him
out of there.

At the same time, Sabiroghlu refuted information of Armenian mass
medias that Azerbaijani army divisions tried to cross the contact
line and noted that the armed incident occurred for the reason of
the violation of ceasefire regime by the Armenian side.

Shamilov was notably born in 1988 and was recruited by the military
enlistment office of Terter in April of 2008.
