“The Ministry of Defence of Armenia has once again spread invalid information about the alleged bombing of positions by Azerbaijan in the settlement of Verin Shorzha in the Gegharkunik region on the state border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. We declare that our forces did not open fire against the opposite side,” the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said in a statement.
Earlier in May, the Azerbaijani army advanced on Syunik province in Armenia to “adjust the border.” The Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan confirmed that Azerbaijan has occupied Lake Sev.
However, several videos circulating on the internet show Armenian soldiers pushing and hitting Azeri soldiers in the same area, trying to drive them out of Armenian territory.

The situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues to deteriorate since the ceasefire agreement on November 10, 2020, and so far many cross-border incidents have taken place, which could spark the conflict again.
