Thanks to the vigilance of the Armenian military, the provocation was foiled,” Hovhannisyan said. “The trespasser was discovered and apparently wounded by the Armenian servicemen on duty when trying to get back,” he said, adding that the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry is responsible for the incident.
