Azerbaijan violates Nagorno Karabakh ceasefire

STEPANAKERT, JUNE 8, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani forces violated the ceasefire in Nagorno Karabakh in the early hours of June 8, the Ministry of Defense of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) said in a statement.

At the same time, as usually, the Azerbaijani authorities are falsely accusing Nagorno Karabakh of opening fire.

“In the period between 02:25 – 02:35, June 8, the Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire in the northern direction of the line of contact by using small arms. The Armenian side has no losses. The ceasefire violation has been reported to the Russian peacekeeping contingent's command. As of 10:30, June 8, the situation on the line of contact is relatively stable. At the same time, Azerbaijan continues to spread disinformation, trying to substantiate the regular ceasefire violations committed by its units. The statement released by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense accusing the Defense Army units of opening fire in the morning of June 8 at Azerbaijani positions deployed in the occupied territories of Shushi region, as well as of trying to carry out reinforcement works in the Askeran region, which they claim were disrupted by the Azerbaijani army’s actions, are completely untrue,” the Ministry of Defense of Nagorno Karabakh said in a statement.
