The Armed Forces of Azerbaijan continue to carry out engineering work on territories of their military strongholds without crossing the Armenian border, the Armenian defense ministry reported.

The Azerbaijani Armed Forces have repeatedly tried to initiate strengthening works on the territory of Armenia on the border line of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, which, however, were promptly suppressed by the corresponding actions of the Armenian units.

In particular, on June 3 of this year, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces tried to carry out excavation work in the border zone belonging to the Republic of Armenia using a tractor. However, after the warning shots fired by the Armenian units, the work was suspended, and the Azerbaijani side was presented with a clear demand to exclude a repetition of such attempts.

Nevertheless, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to carry out engineering and fortification work in the territories where their combat strongholds are located, without crossing the border of the Republic of Armenia.
