YEREVAN. Feb 6 (Interfax) - Artsrun Ovannisyan, press officer for the Armenian defense minister, believes there is "a slow war" taking place on the Armenian-Azeri border.
"The situation on the border has remained tense since January. There is a slow war taking place on the border. If we lose this war, we will lose positions, not people. If we don't respond to the daily actions taken by the enemy, we will begin to suffer defeat," Ovannisyan told reporters on Friday.
Armenian doctors earlier said a resident of the village of Nerkin Karmirakhbyur, Tavush region of Armenia, was killed in an attack coming from Azerbaijan.
In the meantime, Ovannisyan told reporters the Azeri military had breached the ceasefire regime on all tracks along the border on the Tavush region.
"Fire was opened on populated areas. Armenia opened fire on the Azeri positions from which the shots had been fired," he said.
Ovannisyan earlier said Levon Andreasyan, 85, an Armenian resident, was wounded in an attack by the Azeri military on the village of Movse, Tavush region of Armenia on February 4.
The OSCE on January 27 called on Azerbaijan and Armenia to exercise restraint in resolving the Karabakh conflict.
The OSCE reiterated the importance of measures that could rule out the possibility of incidents between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
