On Wednesday, the Armenian Defense Ministry announced that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces attempted to carry out “certain operations” in order to “adjust the border” in the Syunik Region. The Azerbaijani Forces reportedly stopped their operations after the Armenian Defense Ministry took reactive measures. Armenia views this incident as an attempt against its sovereignty. According to Pashinyan, the Azerbaijani forces traveled 3.5 km into Armenian territory. Later, Yerevan announced it contacted the Collective Security Treaty Organization over the border incident.
