Azerbaijani Armed Forces' Shots in the Eraskh Area of Armenia Are Criminal, Says Ombudsman

Azerbaijani armed forces' shots in the Eraskh area of Armenia in recent days are deemed criminal, with a recurring nature. This is evidenced by reports from the Armenian Ministry of Defense and alerts directed to the Human Rights Defender of Armenia, as stated by the Ombudsman of Armenia.

The criminal nature of these gunfire incidents is evident in other border regions of Armenia, underpinned by the backdrop of gunfire provoked by Azerbaijani armed forces near residential areas. This is further substantiated by the fact that an Armenian armed forces member was killed in the Eraskh area on July 14.
