The Armenian Defense Minister referred to an incident that occurred on Saturday in the region of Gadrut, in the south of the aforementioned moutains.

According to the Armenian Defense Ministry, the Azerbaijani troops managed to enter the village of Jin Tager and approached the town of Jtsaberd. In that event six Armenians were injured, said the source.

The Ministry noted that Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian military are conducting negotiations for all parties to return to their previous positions. From Baku, the Defense Ministry said, that northwest of Gadrut, in a forested area, Armenian armed groups were hiding, who are accused of organizing attacks against Azeri military and civilians.

The aforementioned Azerbaijani body affirmed that four of its soldiers were killed while one aseri civilian was injured.

Therefore, the Azerbaijani forces were forced to carry out an anti-terrorist operation.
