“The Armenian side tries to prevent shooting at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border but will reply to firing from the Azerbaijani side,” yesterday said the Armenian minister of defense Michael Harutiunyan. “I have always stated that we want to sustain peace, we don’t want shooting and casualties neither on the Armenian, nor on the Azerbaijani sides but if they shell our positions and roads, they will certainly get a reply,” Harutiunyan said. He also added that the situation at the line of contact is not critical because the cases of shooting have decreased by 40 percent.
