Three casualties in Tavush, on the border with Azerbaijan. Early in the morning on the border south-east to Chinari village, the adversary carried out sabotage penetration attempt. Two conscripts and an officer were killed. “The adversary was thrown back, sustaining large losses and leaving materials proof in our territory that the attacking side was really Azerbaijan,” political expert Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan told “A1+”. According to the political expert, the attack was carried out in the direction of one post. Snipers acted from the Azerbaijani side; grenade launchers were used. It wasn’t an accidental sabotage penetration attempt, it was planned. If they were able to cause so much damage to us, it means it was a long-planned action and it is possible that their best personnel were involved,” he says. According to the assessment of Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan, this diversionary infiltration attempt by Azerbaijanis, who didn’t achieve success in April, has concrete goal, “So that impression that Azerbaijan has reconciled itself with this situation not be formed among mediators or the international community.” It is notable, that the process of Artsakh issue settlement recently has been actively discussed in Armenia. The topic has been activated by the first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, was widely discussed by the society, and yesterday Serzh Sargsyan touched upon the current questions. Not telling the Armenian society about the negotiations process, he justified by the desire not be heard in Baku and other capitals. Wasn’t the sabotage Azerbaijan’s reply to what was said? Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan answers, “I will not condition it by that, because President’s speech was made yesterday in the afternoon and Azerbaijanis would definitely need more time for getting ready for such an attack. Azerbaijan has a concretely planned strategy and they implement it irrespective of processes in Armenia.” The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs are also aware of Azerbaijan’s sabotage in Tavush. According to the information by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, activities have been carried out with the international structures over the situation.
