Armenia accused Azerbaijan of provocation and terrorism

The shelling of the Karabakh police machine and the killing of three officers is a provocation and an act of terrorism planned by the highest leadership of Azerbaijan. This was stated by the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
On March 5, a police vehicle was shot at in Karabakh. As a result, three employees were killed. After the incident, Baku distributes absurd information that the Armenian machine was transporting weapons, ammunition and personnel. The video proves that the Azerbaijani sabotage group attacked the UAZ, in which were four policemen, for official purposes heading from Stepanakert to the village of Khin Shen and Mets Shen. There was nothing in the car but documentation and service weapons», - says the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
The Ministry summarized that these actions of Azerbaijan cannot be described any other than terrorism. The incident occurred against the background of the three-month blockade of the Lachin corridor and the humanitarian catastrophe in Nagorny Karabakh. 
In Baku, they demanded that Armenia stop the illegal transportation of weapons and ammunition, as well as the immediate withdrawal of the armed forces of the territories of Azerbaijan. It should be recalled that Baku considers all of Nagorny Karabakh to be Azerbaijan’s territory, including the locations of Russian peacekeepers.
