YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS. In an ongoing fake news campaign, the Azeri defense ministry on Thursday falsely accused the Armenian military of opening cross-border fire.
The Armenian Defense Ministry said that Azerbaijan’s accusations do not correspond to reality.
“The statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, alleging that on September 12, between 12:15 a.m. and 1:05 a.m., units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia opened fire towards Azerbaijani combat positions located in the southwestern section of the border, does not correspond to reality.
Of note: 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.
