YEREVAN. Sept 1 (Interfax) - The Azerbaijani Armed Forces opened fire on Armenian army positions in the vicinity of Yeraskh in the Ararat district near the two countries' border on Wednesday, the Armenian Defense Ministry said.
"As a result, a contract serviceman, junior sergeant Gegam Levovich Sahakyan, born in 1982, sustained a fatal gunshot wound," the Defense Ministry said.
"The Defense Ministry resolutely condemns the Azerbaijani side's actions and warns that they will not be left unanswered. Responsibility for an escalation of the situation rests entirely with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan," it said.
