The Ministry of Defense of Armenia reports that, after examining the video featuring Armenian and Azerbaijani soldiers and disseminated by Azerbaijani users on social networks, it became clear that the incident actually took place on May 17, 2021, in the eastern sector of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

Earlier, Azerbaijani sources had disseminated on social networks a video showing a large number of Azerbaijani soldiers removing an Armenian serviceman from their military post by pushing and shoving him.

The Ministry of Defense was informed that there had been a dispute between Armenian and Azerbaijani soldiers in the Vardenis section of the line of contact of the Armenian and Azerbaijani armed forces on May 17, and the Ministry of Defense had also reported that the incident had been quickly resolved.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
