On April 10, an incident occurred in the Inner Khndzoresk section of the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border. The shepherd, who is a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, found himself in the territory of Azerbaijan while searching for a lost herd. Due to the situation, the border guards of both sides opened fire.
“As a result of the incident, the Azerbaijani side has one injured. The border guard troops of the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia are ready for a joint examination with the border guard troops of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Regardless of the joint examination, Armenia’s border guard troops are conducting their own examination, and the results will be reported additionally. Besides, to be clarified is the question of why and how the shepherd and the herd crossed the border.
Such incidents are not desirable for the Armenian side. It should also be noted that the Azerbaijani side returned the lost herd. The shepherd is also in the territory of the Republic of Armenia,” said the message of the National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia.
