Earlier today it became known that during the escalation of the conflict on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, 176 servicemen were killed: 105 from Yerevan and 71 from Baku.
The situation on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan escalated on the night of September 13. According to the Armenian Defense Ministry, Azerbaijani troops fired on the border settlements in the south-east of the country – Sotk, Goris and Jermuk.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, in turn, blamed Armenia for the escalation of the situation. They noted that the Armenian side has been “intensively shelling” the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the Kalbajar, Lachin, Dashkesan and Gadabay directions for the last month. In addition, Armenia mined areas and supply routes between the positions of the Azerbaijani army, the ministry added.
