  1. ” Launched an investigation into the incident”.
    This is an inadequate response.
    The Azeri violations/transgressions on the LoC continue unabated. We can’t continue to allow the loss of our servicemen; the human loss is unbearable; we are running out of space at the cemetery.

    Wonder why we do not retaliate?
