Azerbaijan has pulled back forces from the village of Ishkhanasar in Armenia's Syunik province, village chief Marat Petrosyan has said, according to Factor.am.

Petrosyan said the Azerbaijani military have withdrawn to the area where the border of Soviet Azerbaijan used to be.

No information is available about other developments on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. It's also unclear why the Azerbaijanis have agreed to withdraw forces from the area.

Azerbaijani forces violated Armenia’s border in several sections in the provinces of Syunik and Gegharkunik on May 12 and 13 and are still refusing to withdraw their troops from the area. Since then, almost a dozen Armenian servicemen have been killed in Azerbaijan’s shooting, a dozen others have been wounded.
