Azerbaijani forces fire toward Khoznavar village in Syunik

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Defense Ministry reports that on April 20 at around 2:30 a.m., units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces opened fire in the direction of Khoznavar village in Syunik Province. As a result, a solar water heater installed on the roof of one of the village's residential houses was damaged.

There were no injuries.

“We call on the Azerbaijani side to investigate the shelling of the residential house in Khoznavar and to provide public clarification,” the statement said.

The Ministry reminded that the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia has proposed creating an Armenia-Azerbaijan joint mechanism to investigate ceasefire violations and related information. Azerbaijan has not responded to this initiative to date.

Since March 16, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has been spreading misinformation several times a day, alleging gunfire from the Armenian side. Armenia’s Ministry of Defense consistently refutes these claims. The EU monitoring mission has also denied Baku’s disinformation.
