The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has issued a statement regarding the death of Azerbaijan Army sergeant, Mammadov Elshan Ali.
"On September 21, 2020, the Armenian armed forces launched another provocation in the Tovuz region of Azerbaijan on the Armenian-Azerbaijani international border.
Following the recent commentary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry on peace and security in the region and the Armenian Foreign Minister's statement calling for a peaceful settlement of the conflict, this bloody provocation is a clear demonstration of the Armenian government's real intention. It is about continuing the aggression and not achieving peace," reads the statement.
The Ministry notes that the responsibility for "bloody crime" on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border lies with the Armenian military-political leadership.
