The Armenian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry claims that Armenian troops shot at its positions on the border do not "correspond to reality."

Furthermore, the ministry noted that "the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia has proposed the establishment of a joint Armenian-Azerbaijani mechanism for the investigation of ceasefire violations and related incidents," stressing that Azerbaijani authorities have yet to respond to this proposal.

The renewed tensions come just days after the two countries agreed on the terms of a peace treaty aimed at ending a long-running dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
