Azerbaijan and neighboring Armenia on Sunday blamed each other for a shoot-out.

Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said, starting from the afternoon of September 10 to the morning of September 11, the Azerbaijan Army positions, stationed in the directions of Zaylik, Yellija, Yukhari Ayrim settlements of Kalbajar region, and Sadinlar settlement of Lachin region, were periodically subjected to fire by the use of various caliber weapons from the Armenian armed forces positions, stationed in the directions of Yukhari Shorzha, Ashaghi Shorzha, Zarkand settlements of Basarkechar region and Khazinavar settlement of the Gorus region.

“As a result of the adequate retaliatory measures taken by the Azerbaijan Army Units the opposing side was suppressed,” it continued.

Meanwhile, the Armenian Defence Ministry claimed, “Azerbaijan continues to spread misinformation.”

In its statement, the Ministry pledged, “on the night of September 11, Armenian Armed Forces units did not open fire in the direction of Azerbaijani positions located in the eastern section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border line.”

“The situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is relatively stable and under full control of the Armenian Armed Forces,” it added.
