ArmInfo.The Azerbaijani side opened fire in the direction of Gegharkunik from the positions it occupied in Armenia's sovereign territory a year ago, Armenia's former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page.
The shots officially confirmed by the Armenian side were fired from a section bordering the village of Norabak. One serviceman was wounded. A few days earlier, the Azerbaijani side opened fire at the territory near the village of Verin Shorzha.
"Since the Azerbaijani armed forces are illegally deployed in the territory neighboring the Gegharkunik province, with its pastures and arable lands owned by the local residents, the aggressive fire poses a real threat to people's life and health," Mr Tatoyan wrote.
Azerbaijan's authorities are responsible for the Azerbaijani troops' criminal violations and ongoing aggression against civilians.
On May 12 and 13, 2021, Azerbaijani troops made incursions in Armenia's territory in Syunik and Gegharkunik and moved 3.5km and 2km respectively into Armenia's territory. They stationed their units and refuse to leave. Armenia applied to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), but the problem has since remained unsolved.
