Azerbaijan says situation on border with Armenia has stabilized

The situation on the border with Armenia has stabilized and is under control, spokesman for Azerbaijan’s State Border Service Murad Nagiyev said on Tuesday.

"The situation on the state border with Armenia is stable and is under our control. The Azerbaijani side is taking measures to promptly resolve disputes without any tensions," AzerTAc cited the spokesman as saying.

According to the spokesman, Azerbaijani’s border guards maintain daily contacts with the Russian side.

"Reports that Azerbaijani border guards opened gunfire towards Armenia are not true. The Russian side got in contact with us today to say that Armenian and Azerbaijani servicemen had allegedly been shooting in the air. As a result, an Armenian soldier was wounded. The Russian side said also that the Armenian side had no claims to Azerbaijan over this incident," Nagiyev said.
