  All responsibility for incident on Azerbaijan

All responsibility for the incident that happened on the territory of Azerbaijan lies with the political and military leadership of Armenia, which has not yet withdrawn its illegal armed units from Azerbaijan's territory.

This is reflected in the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry regarding the shelling of the Azerbaijani Army Unit positions by illegal Armenian armed groups on the Azerbaijani territory, where the Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed.

"The Azerbaijani side has repeatedly stated that Armenia has not fulfilled the obligations assumed by the tripartite declaration of November 10, 2020, and that the illegal Armenian armed groups have not yet been removed from the territory of Azerbaijan. The bloody incident that took place on August 3 once again demonstrates that Armenia grossly violated the tripartite agreement and, at the same time, undermined efforts toward the normalization of relations between the two states. This is also an indicator of Armenia's disrespect for the actions of international mediators.

"The entire responsibility of the incident that took place on the territory of Azerbaijan rests with the political and military leadership of Armenia, which has not yet withdrawn its illegal armed groups from the territory of the neighboring state.

"We will continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure the security of Azerbaijan's territories and the integrity of its borders.

"May God rest the soul of our martyr in peace!" the statement said.
