Baku. TurkicWorld:

Armenia is preparing another provocation, TurkicWorld reports via the State Border Service of Azerbaijan.

"According to the information received, on July 26, Armenia is planning another demonstrative provocation by organizing the accumulation of various vehicles at the entrance from the opposite side of the Lachin checkpoint on the state border," the service said.

"We call on the Armenian side to refrain from such actions that are aimed at provocation and serve to aggravate the situation. We declare once again that all responsibility for possible provocative actions will fall entirely on the Armenian side," the service added.

On June 15, 2023, at 08:45 (GMT +4), as a result of opening fire from the territory of Armenia, a serviceman of the State Border Service of Azerbaijan Elshan Rustamov, who served at the Lachin checkpoint, was injured.
