As reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on August 3, 2022, the positions of the units of the Azerbaijani Army in the direction of the Lachin region were fired upon intensively by members of the illegal Armenian armed groups in the territory of Azerbaijan, where the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is temporarily stationed, as a result of which military serviceman Kazimov Anar Rustam was killed. his son was martyred.

APA reports with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Azerbaijani side has repeatedly stated that Armenia has not fulfilled the obligations assumed by the tripartite statement dated November 10, 2020, and that the illegal Armenian armed groups have not yet been removed from the territory of Azerbaijan.

"The bloody incident that took place on August 3 once again demonstrates that Armenia grossly violated the tripartite agreement, and at the same time undermined efforts towards the normalization of relations between the two states.

This is also an indicator of Armenia's disrespect for the efforts of international mediators.

The entire responsibility for the incident in the territory of Azerbaijan lies with the political and military leadership of Armenia, which has not yet removed its illegal armed groups from the territory of the neighboring state.

We will continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure the security of Azerbaijan's territories and the integrity of its borders.

May God have mercy on our martyr!
