On the morning of August 3, members of illegal Armenian armed detachments in the territory of Azerbaijan, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed, subjected to intensive fire the Azerbaijan Army positions stationed in direction of the Lachin region, e-huquq.az reports citing Azerbaijani MFA.

A serviceman of active military service - soldier Kazimov Anar Rustam was martyred as a result of a bullet wound.

The Azerbaijani side has repeatedly stated that Armenia has not fulfilled the obligations assumed by the tripartite declaration of 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 undermined efforts towards the normalization of relations between the two states. It is also an indicator of Armenia's disrespect for the efforts of international mediators. The political and military leadership of Armenia, which has not yet withdrawn its illegal armed groups from the territory of the neighboring state, bears the entire responsibility for the incident that took place on the territory of Azerbaijan. We will continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure the security of Azerbaijan's territories and the integrity of its borders. May Allah have mercy on our Martyr!" the statement reads.
