YEREVAN, APRIL 13, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Cabinet members held a moment of silence during the April 13 Cabinet meeting in honor of the troops who were killed in the unprovoked Azerbaijani attack on April 11.

“Notwithstanding all our efforts, unfortunately the ongoing deployment of border guards in the section of Tegh village on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border didn’t proceed without escalations. On April 11, the Azerbaijani military made yet another provocation in that section, which resulted in four servicemen of the Armenian Armed Forces being killed, by selflessly fulfilling their duty and protecting the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. I ask you to pay tribute to our fallen brothers with a moment of silence,” PM Pashinyan said.

On April 11, Armenian troops carrying out engineering works near the village of Tegh close to the border with Azerbaijan came under heavy gunfire in an unprovoked attack. Four Armenian soldiers were killed and six wounded.
