The situation in Transcaucasia remains difficult, especially on the Armenian-Azerbaijani interstate border. Statements continue to be heard from Baku and Yerevan in which the parties accuse each other of provocations and preparations for another war between the two countries.

In turn, the official statement of the Armenian Ministry of Defense reported that on the night of April 5-6, in a number of directions of the border zone, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces opened fire with varying intensity on the positions of the Armenian Armed Forces from small arms of various calibers.
At 22:25-22:50 in Sotk (Gegharkunik region), at 23:15 in Verin Shorzha (Gegharkunik region), at 00:15 in Kuta (Gegharkunik region), between 23:15-23:20 in Aravus ( Syunik region), at 23:05-23:20 in Chinari (Tavush region), at 00:15-01:20 in the direction of the positions of the RA Armed Forces in the Movses sector (Tavush region)

The Armenian Ministry of Defense also noted that at night most of the shelling by Azerbaijanis was untargeted and irregular. In the period from 21:00 to 23:00, active movement of Azerbaijani Armed Forces equipment in the direction of Ishkhanasar was also observed. It is assumed that the actions of the Azerbaijanis had a provocative motive, in order to achieve the initiation of similar counter-actions on the part of the Armenians in order to obtain certain facts substantiating Baku’s accusations against Yerevan.
Azerbaijani agitprop yesterday spread false information, trying to present the planned rotation of units of the RA Armed Forces as an accumulation on the front line. The corresponding unit of the RA Ministry of Defense, while monitoring and analyzing open sources, also recorded that in recent days there has been an increase in cases of dissemination of disinformation thrown by the Azerbaijani press into the Armenian media on social networks, therefore we urge our compatriots to be vigilant and follow the official the news

It is worth adding that Armenia is leading intense negotiations with the European Union and NATO.
