YEREVAN, MAY 11, ARMENPRESS. Armenian military positions are under Azerbaijani gunfire since 06:00 Thursday, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia reported.

The Azerbaijani Armed Forces are shelling the Armenian positions in the direction of Sotk with artillery and mortar fire.

The Armed Forces of Armenia are taking the necessary defensive-preventive measures, the ministry added.

The Ministry of Defense reported that two Armenian servicemen were wounded as of 07:00.

As of 07:20 the Armenian positions were still under Azerbaijani gunfire.

At the same time, the Armenian Ministry of Defense warned that the Azerbaijani authorities are again spreading disinformation. In particular, the statement released by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accusing the Armenian military of firing at Azerbaijani positions and wounding an Azerbaijani soldier on May 10 is untrue.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
