Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry announced in a written statement on Tuesday that the country has launched an operation in Nagorno-Karabakh to restore constitutional order after two soldiers were wounded this morning in what Baku described as a border attack.
"To ensure the obligations of the Trilateral Declaration [of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia from November 9, 2020], suppress large-scale provocations in the Karabakh economic region, disarm and withdraw Armenian armed forces formations from our territories ... as well as to restore the constitutional order of the Republic of Azerbaijan, antiterrorist activities have been launched in the region," the document says.
The ministry concluded by saying that the command of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation and the leadership of the Turkish-Russian Monitoring Center are informed about the ongoing activities.
