Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Ministry of Defense today has reported that the Azerbaijani armed forces "carried out two more provocations against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, trying to make positional advances in the border areas of Vardenis and Sisian.”

“In both cases, the Armenian Armed Forces took corresponding action and stopped the advances, demanding that the Azerbaijani troops leave immediately and return to their starting positions.
