The provocation of the Armenians on the front line in the direction of Azerbaijan’s Aghdam district has been prevented, chairman of the Guzanli village municipality of the country’s Aghdam district Mehdi Mammadov told Trend Apr. 2.

He said that on the night of Apr. 2, the Armenians fired at the villages of the Aghdam district located near the frontline using heavy artillery.

On the night of Apr. 2, all frontier positions of Azerbaijan were exposed to heavy fire from large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. In addition, Azerbaijani settlements near the frontline densely populated by civilians were fired at.

“The shelling lasted until morning,” Mammadov said. “The Armenians fired at the villages of Baharli and Khindiristan. One shell fell on the territory of the Baharli village, fortunately, no one died. In the morning, the enemy was silenced by response fire. The current situation in the territory of the Aghdam district is stable and under control.”

Mammadov denied the information that the population of villages in the Aghdam district leaves their homes, calling it untrue.

“No resident of the Aghdam district has left his (her) home,” Mammadov said. “All residents remain in their homes and are occupied with their usual activities.”
