Azerbaijan reports shots fired at military post, ministry in Yerevan denies

Some Azerbaijani military positions in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic were fired upon by some units of the Armenian Armed Forces, according to the Defense Ministry in Baku. According to the report, on August 28, at around 06:45 local time (04:45 in Italy), units of the Armenian Armed Forces fired from their positions in the direction of the settlement of Arazdayan in the Develi region and at units of the Azerbaijani army in the direction of Heydarabad, a settlement in the Sadarak district of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

The Armenian Defense Ministry denied these statements. “The report of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry that units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire on Azerbaijani positions in the southwestern part of the border zone on August 28 at around 6:45 a.m. (4:45 a.m. in Italy) does not correspond to reality,” the statement said. The ministry in Yerevan recalled the proposal of the Armenian Prime Minister's Office Nikol Pashinyan to create a joint mechanism to investigate cases of ceasefire violations.
