Azerbaijan falsely accuses Armenia of border shooting in renewed disinformation

YEREVAN, JANUARY 6, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani authorities have falsely accused the Armenian military of opening fire at Azeri troops near the border. 

The Armenian Ministry of Defense, in a statement issued on Monday, said that the Azerbaijani accusations are disinformation. 

“The statement by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense, claiming that on January 5, between 10:00 p.m. and 10:10 p.m., the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia opened fire on Azerbaijani positions in the southeastern section 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 Armenian-Azerbaijani mechanism to investigate ceasefire violations and related cases. To date, Azerbaijan has not provided a response to this proposal,” the Armenian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
