Azerbaijani authorities continue intense fake news campaign, again falsely accuse Armenia of border gunfire

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani authorities released their third disinformation on Monday, once again falsely accusing the Armenian military of opening fire across the border, the Armenian Ministry of Defense warned in a statement Monday afternoon.

“The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan continues to spread disinformation. The statement disseminated by the [Ministry of Defense] of Azerbaijan as if on September 4, at around 11:20 a.m., the units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire at the Azerbaijani combat outposts located in the southwestern part of the border, is another disinformation,” the Armenian Ministry of Defense said.

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense has been spreading fake news nearly every day in recent days, with what has been described by Armenian authorities as a sign of Baku plotting new provocations.
