THERE WAS NOT ANY BORDER INFRINGEMENT BY AZERBAIJAN

. The Noemberian regional department of “Erkrapah” union denied the information that on 6 June Azerbaijan snipers broke the state border of Armenia.The leader of the regional department Rafik Aslanyan said that the resident of Barekamavan who was killed by snipers, at the moment of shooting was in the neutral zone which is not controlled by Armenian forces. That part is nearer to Azerbaijan’s positions than to Armenia’s. There was no response shooting from our side, as it would strain the situation.
