Azerbaijan condemns Armenia amid fresh clash on border

Azerbaijan on Wednesday condemned Armenia over the killing of seven soldiers in recent clashes between the two countries.

In a statement, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned “the Armenian side’s continuing military provocations on the basis of revenge.”

“The military-political leadership of Armenia is directly responsible for the escalation of the situation in the region and for preventing the implementation of the tripartite statement,” the statement added.

The ministry said “all kinds of threats and military provocations against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within the internationally recognized borders” will be responded to accordingly.
