Azerbaijani fake news campaign again targets Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army

STEPANAKERT, SEPTEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani authorities have once again falsely accused Nagorno-Karabakh’s Defense Army of attempting to carry out reinforcement work in the Askeran region.

The Azeri defense ministry falsely claimed to have prevented the fortification work, which itself never actually took place.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry, in a statement on Thursday, said that the Azeri accusations are disinformation.

“The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense has released yet another disinformation, falsely claiming that around 10:05, September 7, the Defense Army detachments attempted to carry out fortification works in the Askeran region, which were allegedly thwarted,” the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry said in a statement.
