On February 23, Azerbaijani armed forces opened cross-border gunfire on the military positions of the Armenian Armed Forces at the contact line near Koti village in Noyemberyan, leaving one Armenian soldier wounded with light injuries.. Following attack the Azerbaijani side began the spread disinformation and called the incident an Armenian “subversion attempt,” per Artsrun Hovhannisyan, Spokesperson for the Defense Ministry. The Armenian side stopped Azerbaijan’s shooting with retaliatory fire. Several Armenian soldiers have been wounded in Azerbaijan’s cross-border fire since the beginning of the year.

“The “subversion” announced by Azerbaijan is simply a good “fairytale” for the Azerbaijani public. This is total disinformation. The Armenian Armed Forces have simply responded to the Azerbaijani provocations, the result of which you can see for yourselves. Moreover, with this all the Armenian side is still displaying restraint,” Hovhannisyan said.
