“On December 31, on New Year’s night, we also had a similar situation when Azerbaijanis have fired shots into the air. I live in Stepanakert and can say that I haven’t heard the shots this time. In any case, the Defense Army has already informed that there have been several shots fired in the air, in other words, no shot was fired towards our positions”, Vahram Poghosyan said.
