Armenia and Azerbaijan contest the sequence of events that led to EU observers ducking for cover ahead of a UN Security Council meeting on the persecution of ethnic Armenians in the Lachin corridor.

After some initial confusion, EU officials confirmed that on August 14th, Tuesday evening, a European observer mission in the disputed region around the Azerbaijan-Armenia border had come under fire in what Armenian officials immediately pinned on the Azeri army.

According to reports and subsequent footage that emerged from the incident, European observers were temporarily pinned down by what was believed to be small arms fire from Azeri forces while on the Armenian side of the border, where they had been conducting their duties.
