He answered the questions about the provocation committed today in the Lachin checkpoint on the border with Armenia, a blow to the peace process, and what purpose the Armenians pursued by shelling this post.
"Today's provocation of Armenia, during which the state border checkpoint in the Lachin district was shelled, indicates that it was planned in advance by the Armenian army. Because there has already been information about this in the diplomatic missions of many foreign countries," Mammadov said.
