Azerbaijan ramps up fake news campaign targeting Armenia with more false accusations of border shooting

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani authorities have intensified their fake news campaign targeting Armenia, with the Azeri defense ministry once again generating disinformation.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan has again falsely accused Armenia of border shooting, hours after making a similar accusation.

The Ministry of Defense of Armenia has denied all accusations.

“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan alleging that on September 5th at around 09:55 a.m. units of the Armenian Armed Forces fired against the Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern 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 Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
