PanARMENIAN.Net - The Azerbaijani military has violated the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) again, this time near the settlement of Seysulan, the NKR InfoCenter reports․

"As a result of the negotiations by the Russian peacekeeping troops in Artsakh, the Azerbaijani troops have recently agreed to return to their starting positions," the statement reads.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said Azerbaijan violated the contact line near Hatsavan (Yarimja).

"The command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, in cooperation with representatives of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, is taking measures to resolve the incident," the Russian side said.

Azerbaijan has broken into Nagorno-Karabakh, and the incursion has left three Armenian soldiers dead and at least 14 others injured. On March 24, Azerbaijan stormed into the zone of the responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers stationed in the area and is refusing to completely withdraw its forces from strategic heights.

“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
