Azerbaijan again falsely accuses Armenia of border shooting in fresh fake news campaign

YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, ARMENPRESS. In a renewed disinformation campaign, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has again falsely accused the Armenian military of border shooting, the Armenian Defense Ministry has said.

“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan alleging that on August 28 at around 6:30 p.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. 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, to which Azerbaijan has not yet responded,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
