Armenian soldiers on the border with Azerbaijan. Archival photoYEREVAN, May 21. The Armenian Defense Ministry reported that a soldier was wounded due to shelling from Azerbaijan. «On May 21, at about 14:05 (13:05 Moscow time), Azerbaijani units opened fire positions located on the eastern direction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. As a result, a conscript serviceman, private serviceman Gor Gyulsaryan received a slight gunshot wound,» the ministry's website says. Azerbaijani units ceased fire, the Defense Ministry said. At the end of September 2020, hostilities resumed in Nagorno-Karabakh, which became a continuation of a long-term conflict and led to civilian casualties. The parties made several attempts to conclude a truce, but the tripartite agreement reached on the night of November 10 was successful. With the mediation of Moscow, Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed to a complete ceasefire and exchange of prisoners and bodies of the dead. Yerevan also handed over to Baku the Kelbajar and Lachin regions, as well as part of the Aghdam region, which since 1994 have been under the control of the unrecognized NKR. In addition, Russian peacekeepers have been stationed in the region.
