“As a result of the vigilance and immediate measures taken by servicemen of the Azerbaijan Army, the opposing side suffered losses and was suppressed.
The Russian peacekeeping command and the Turkish-Russian Joint Monitoring Center were informed about the incident.
We state that if such an attempt is made once again, hereinafter strict and adequate measures will be taken in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” the ministry said.
