Armenian armed forces are able to handle Azerbaijani provocations without CSTO’s support, military expert said.

“CSTO headed by Nikolay Bordyuzha has reiterated readiness to extend assistance to Armenia in case of large-scale hostilities,” David Jamalyan said.

On June 4, gross Azeri ceasefire violation was recorded in the north-eastern direction of Armenian-Azerbaijani border, with an attempt made to enter Armenian positions in Tavush Province of Armenia.

The attack was halted by Armenian soldiers’ brave actions. As a result of Azerbaijani sabotage, three Armenian soldiers (Mushegh Nurbekyan, Zohrab Balabekyan and Karen Davtyan) were killed. The violation also claimed wounded, according to RA Ministry of Defense press service.
