"According to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, on January 11, 2022, as a result of provocation committed by the Armenian armed forces in the direction of Kalbajar District on the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, our serviceman, soldier Ayaz Azar oglu Nazarov, was killed.

“We strongly condemn the continuation of military provocations by Armenia.
