Edmon Marukyan, Armenia's Ambassador-at-Large, referred to Azerbaijan's provocation in the direction of Yeraskh in his Twitter, calling on the international community to take measures against Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan opened fire at the vehicles and infrastructures of a plant being built in the sovereign territory of Armenia by a US-Armenian investment. Intensive fire continued for three hours.
This is an outrageous behavior going against all efforts carried out towards the peace process and a gross violation of all commitments on non-use of force or even threat of use of force.
We strongly condemn this provocative behavior and call for our international partners to take measures against Azerbaijan, including sanctions and direct calls for refraining from such destructive approach.
The silence of international community or absence of unequivocally targeted measures on Azerbaijan may cause new aggressions against democratic Armenia," Marukyan tweeted, mentioning European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and French President Emmanuel Macron.
On June 13, at 6:40 p.m., the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces opened fire from different caliber rifles in the direction of the Armenian positions located in the Yeraskh sector, Ararat province, Armenia. There were no casualties on the Armenian side.
A civilian car and another object were damaged as a result of fire from the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the direction of Yeraskh.
The RA Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding Azerbaijan's actions in the direction of Yeraskh, calling on the international community to take steps to limit Azerbaijan's expansionist ambitions.
