Azerbaijan is encroaching on Armenia’s territorial integrity, warns PM Pashinyan after deadly border attack

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan accused Azerbaijan of encroaching on the territorial integrity of Armenia after Azeri forces killed 3 Armenian troops and wounded 2 others in a border attack on Friday.

“Today, Azerbaijani Armed Forces , using UAVs and mortars, attacked positions towards the Armenian combat outposts nearby Sotk & Norabak, leaving 3 servicemen dead & 2 wounded. Encroachments on the territorial integrity of Armenia, combined with warmongering rhetoric, are a continuation of Azerbaijan’s policy,” PM Pashinyan said in a post on X.

The Armenian Ministry of Defense initially reported that the death toll was 4, but then updated it to 3.
