As it is known, on July 12, the Armenian armed forces carried out a military provocation in the direction of the Tovuz region of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, using heavy machine guns, sniper rifles and artillery, fired at our positions, as well as civilians and civilian objects.

The heroic officers and soldiers of the Azerbaijani Army resolutely prevented this provocation, retaliatory fire destroyed the enemy's bases, firing points, reserves in the depths of defense, a large number of military equipment and manpower. Currently, the operational conditions in the area of ​​the fighting are under the full control of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

In the face of this military provocation of Armenia, the Azerbaijani people once again demonstrated their unity, determination and uncompromising position against the enemy, our heroic martyrs were buried in large crowds, marches in support of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were held in various cities and regions.

The march and meeting held in Baku on July 14 once again demonstrated the full support of the Azerbaijani people to their State, Army and Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Aggressive Armenia must understand that the patience of the Azerbaijani people is not infinite and it will never reconcile with the occupation of its territories. According to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the blood of our fallen servicemen has not and will not remain on the ground.

Unfortunately, during this peaceful and patriotic action, a group of provocateurs committed acts that grossly violated public order, resisted and used force against police officers who provided security for the action, resulting in various injuries to several police officers. service cars were severely damaged.

Public order was restored due to the disregard of repeated warnings by police officers, as well as operative measures taken to prevent further escalation of the situation.

A criminal case has been launched and an investigation is under way.

The Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan emphasize the inadmissibility of violations of public order in the country at this sensitive time of heavy fighting on the line of contact with the enemy. At the same time, he reminded citizens that holding mass rallies in cities and regions at a time when the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic could have serious consequences, and called on citizens to exercise restraint and commemorate our martyrs in accordance with existing quarantine regulations.
