Azerbaijan falsely accuses Armenia of border shooting

YEREVAN, AUGUST 28, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has falsely accused the Armenian military of border shooting, the Armenian Defense Ministry has said. 

“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan alleging that on August 28 at around 06:45 a.m. units of the Armenian Armed Forces fired against the Azerbaijani combat positions located in the southwestern part of the border does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

“It should be noted that the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia has proposed the establishment of a joint Armenia-Azerbaijan mechanism for investigating ceasefire violations and/or related cases,” it added. Azerbaijan has ignored Armenia's offer to establish the mechanism.
