Azeri authorities again falsely accuse Armenian military of opening fire

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan has generated more fake news targeting the Armenian military, this time falsely accusing it of opening fire in the south-western part of the border.

In a statement, the Armenian Ministry of Defense described the Azeri accusations as “the usual kind of disinformation.”

"The [Ministry of Defense] of Azerbaijan has come up with the usual kind of disinformation. The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan as if on September 4, at around 9:50 a.m., the units of the Armenian Armed Forces discharged fire against the Azerbaijani combat outposts located in the southwestern part of the frontier zone, does not correspond to reality,” reads a statement issued by the Armenian Ministry of Defense on Facebook.

The Azeri authorities had again falsely accused the Armenian military of opening fire earlier on Monday as well.
