ARMENPRESS. The EU observers had patrolled the area of Tegh village on April 11 hours before the Azerbaijani attack took place and were not present in the area during the shooting.
“The EU Mission in Armenia (EUMA) as part of implementation of its mandate, conducted its regular patrol to the area of Tegh and Kordnidzor villages during the morning of April 11,” the EU press service said in response to a query from ARMENPRESS when asked whether the EU mission has notified the EU on the Azerbaijani attack. “However, they were not present in the area where the incident happened. In the late afternoon, the Mission was informed by Armenian authorities about the shooting,” it added.
On April 11, Armenian troops carrying out engineering works near the village of Tegh close to the border with Azerbaijan came under heavy gunfire in an unprovoked attack. Four Armenian soldiers were killed and six wounded.
