Azerbaijan continues disinformation campaign, refuses to provide evidence of alleged ceasefire breach – Armenian Ministry of Defense

The Azerbaijani defense ministry has again generated disinformation falsely accusing Armenia of border shooting.

The Armenian Defense Ministry refuted the accusations.

“The statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, alleging that on March 18, at approximately 8:55 a.m., the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia discharged fire on Azerbaijani positions in the eastern sector of the border, does not correspond to reality. It is worth recalling 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 related reports. However, Azerbaijan has yet to respond to this initiative.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms that, in accordance with the position of the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, it stands ready to investigate the facts supporting the statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia. As of now, the Republic of Azerbaijan has not provided the Republic of Armenia with any factual evidence or justification regarding the alleged ceasefire violations by the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia,” the Ministry of Defense of Armenia said in a statement.

Azerbaijan has so far spread 7 disinformation reports over the course of three days, falsely accusing Armenia of shooting at its positions across the border.
