Literally the same thing happened in September 2020:" Ghazinyan wrote.
Another aggravation of situation began on the morning of August 1. Azerbaijani units do not stop provocations and ceasefire violations. On August 1, as a result of shelling from the Azerbaijani side, a soldier of the Artsakh Defense Army was wounded.
And today, as a result of enemy actions, 8 servicemen of the Artsakh Defense Army were injured, one more died.
A little earlier, Artsakh Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan reported that tension is maintained in the northwestern part of Artsakh, at the junction of Shushi and Berdzor (Lachin) regions, and Russian peacekeepers are negotiating. He noted that this refers to the section north of the city of Berdzor. <The escalation in Artsakh is connected with the new illegal demands of Azerbaijan on the Lachin corridor. The plan for the new route has not been agreed upon, not approved, and 3 years have not yet passed since the signing of the application [this is how much time is allotted for agreeing on a new route by mutual approval], therefore, Azerbaijan's actions are a flagrant violation of the tripartite statement>
