    INCIDENT ON AZERBAIJAN-ARMENIA CONTACT LINE IS NOT SKIRMISH, BUT SMALL BATTLE: AZERBAIJANI MP

    "I think that today Armenia once again was convinced that the
    Azerbaijani army is well-prepared," Azerbaijani parliament's security
    and defense committee chair Aydin Mirzazade said commenting on media
    reports claiming that five Armenian soldiers have been killed at the
    Azerbaijan-Armenia contact line.

    "Almost every day we hear about violation of ceasefire by Armenian
    troops and provocation against Azerbaijani army. But today's incident,
    of course, shocked everybody. It was not even a skirmish, but a small
    battle where five Armenian invaders were killed," Mirzazade said.

    "I think that this was an attempt by Armenia to test vigilance of
    Azerbaijani military units and posts on the contact line. As expected,
    the Armenian side gained a worthy rebuff," the MP said.

    He said Azerbaijani troops have only one wounded and Azerbaijani side
    carried out the battle competently.

    "I think that today Armenia once again was convinced that the
    Azerbaijani army is well-prepared. Azerbaijani soldiers are ready for
    combat operations and the Armenian armed forces will receive repeated
    retaliation of Azerbaijani soldiers in case of hostilities," he said.

    "As to whether the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict may be solved by
    military means, I can say that Azerbaijan supports solution to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through peaceful negotiations. We comply with
    the ceasefire. But Azerbaijan intends to return its territory and was
    always ready for military action. If Armenia takes provocative actions
    against us, it will get a decent rebuff as it did today," he added.
