Azerbaijan opens fire on Armenian border village of Aygepar (video)

Yesterday the Azerbaijani side opened fire at frontline positions of the Armenian armed forces in the northeastern direction of the Line of Contact. Border villages of Armenia’s Tavush province also came under gunfire in the evening.

The administrator of Aygepar village Andranik Aydinyan told Aysor.am that shots were fired at the village from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.

“Gunfire stopped after our servicemen replied,” the village administrator said, noting that shots were fired mostly from large-caliber weapons.

“There was also a shooting a few days ago. Bullets hit a five-story building. Children were playing in the yard at that time,” Aydinyan said.

The Azerbaijani mass media reported today that there were wounded persons after the Armenian side opened fire at the Azerbaijani village of Alibeyli.

We want to stress that our side returned the fire – in response to the shots fired at children, not our servicemen.

The video was filmed in April 2014. It shows the fire-story house mentioned by Aygepar village administrator.
