On Monday evening and Tuesday morning, Azerbaijan’s defense forces opened fire on border villages in Armenia’s north-eastern region Tavush.
The communities Voskevan and Baghanis faced heavy shelling by the adversary ahead of the start of the new academic year.
“Well, with the onset of every holiday – be it September 1, New Year or whatever – it is a kind of habit with them to shoot us. It is on such days that they attempt to unmask their national character by spoiling everything,” Narek Sahakyan, the mayor of Baghanis. told our correspondent.
He said that that an interstate camp in the vicinities of the village’s school came under an armed attack, disrupting the September 1 celebration ceremony.
The village’s mayor added that the attack left no survivors, damaging only several school windows and building façade walls.
“The children came in the morning, received their assignments and left,” he said.
Voskevan Mayor Seryozha Alexanyan also confirmed the report on the armed attack, saying that the Azerbaijani forces had opened fire in the southern direction.
